DarkScorpion Posted March 7, 2004 Posted March 7, 2004 I dont know if this goes in cooling or overclocking, but here's my question: Has anyone achived better video core overclock by putting a fan on the backside of their video card? I have a 60mm fan sitting around and I need to find a use for it... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
InvaderTrax Posted March 7, 2004 Posted March 7, 2004 You mean the side without the heatsink? I'm pretty sure that wouldn't make any difference. Probably .01 degrees C Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyberpc04 Posted March 7, 2004 Posted March 7, 2004 Acctually I had an MSI Ti4200VTDR 128mb that had a single copper plate that cooled the memory and touched a small half inch square on the backside of the GPU. It got quite hot and there was a noticable change in temp. if the plate wasn't on there. I added a fan to the backside and it helped by about 3-4c. Not all cards have a spot on the backside of the GPU that you would be able to put a hs though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
