Video Card Ram Sinks

Recommended Posts

Not that i didn't have any, i had OCZ mini flowers but they are copper and i've changed my theme to chrome and black so i made myself new ramsinks out of a busted power supply ones. I've cut the long part off, polished and straighten the base, a little buffing and there you are, vid. card heat sinks :P and they're doing a good job too :D

And didn't cost me a penny.

I have not checked yet, i can just say that it's holding steady to the UT2K3 test with the same numbers i had with the OCZ i didn't change anything they're maybe a little warmer but considering that this is alu. i think it's ok :)

Well in a way it does cost something :P but since i salvage everything and he PS was busted, let's say it didn't cost much :)

And i have to say i had to snip a couple of pins close to the solder on the card between the ram chips so they wouldn't touch the HS ;)

any improvements in oc?

It's only a 9000 pro but from what i can see from RIVA TUNER i'm now sitting at 279/594 from the stock settings 274.5 for both. And if i push the core more i get garbled screen. it's ok though i can play UT2K3 everything to the max and getting good fps. :P
