Ok i have this older cpu fan that is molex was for an old AMD K6. it has a great heat sink. Im going to try to put it on my video card because it seems to me that it is some what over heating. Any idea on how to mount the cpu fan on my videocard would be great.

 

^^^ Didnt add it but i have an MSI nVIDEA fx 5500

 

ehhh.... I also spelt stay wrong so say = stay!

There are 2 holes close to the gpu on your video card, drill holes into the heatsink that are the same to those 2 holes. Make sure that the holes that you drill in the heatsink are a little samller than the screws, so that they thread holes within the heatsink. Then screw in the heatsink, putting rubber washers between the top side of the card and the screw head, so that you do not crack the gpu.

If all else fails, do like me

Mix 1/2 and 1/2 AS of your choice thermal paste and Thermal epoxy.

Why the paste? when and if you want to take it off it'll be much easier ;)

Btw that's what's holding my P2 HS to my video card loll
