Guest stereogames Posted March 21, 2008 Posted March 21, 2008 Hi, im wondering if there is a way i can cut/modify my two Pentium 2 heat sinks and put them on my sapphire 3870. This came with a small fan and id like to add some heatsinks to the exposed areas that remain hot. Please leave some advice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
werty316 Posted March 21, 2008 Posted March 21, 2008 (edited) Using a Dremel would come in handy when cutting up the two heatsinks. Edited March 21, 2008 by werty316 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Smith Posted March 21, 2008 Posted March 21, 2008 (edited) Sur it can be done!. If you feel you are able, I say that it could be a great idea. For the way you should modify them, I can't help you I don't even know how are your heatsinks.

suchuwato Posted March 21, 2008 Posted March 21, 2008 Core and memory, or core only? It can be done, but with the 3870 being a new card, I don't know the thermal requirements - may be useful researching first. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Savan Posted March 21, 2008 Posted March 21, 2008 those seem fine to me, low even and if you do want to upgrade the cooling, Id recommend buying one that has been engineered for the card, rather than hacking two old one to make your own.
