Guest stereogames Posted April 6, 2008 Posted April 6, 2008 (edited) Hello everyone! Today i got bored, and put together a gpu cooler from an old socket 775 cooler(manufacture unknown). I mounted it in a very bootleg manner, resting it at the bottom of the case, and shoving crap underneath till it made contact with the GPU core! Here are some pictures. My graphics card is an 8500 GT 256 mb , and I now can overclock the core+memory clock by 150 MHz and remain at 30-40*C idle, and 50*C load! I hope to be known on this community as the bootleg modder Edited April 6, 2008 by stereogames Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccokeman Posted April 6, 2008 Posted April 6, 2008 Polite golf applause!!! That is as ghetto as I have seen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
iKillSteal Posted April 6, 2008 Posted April 6, 2008 (edited) I have no words for that...it takes every ghetto mod I've seen and done and slaps it across the face. Congratulations, you've just now aimed lower than any man before you ever has. Lets hope, for civilizations sake, that no one ever bests you. But seriously, throw some cable ties or something on that...one gentle bump to the case and your graphics card goes up like the Hindenburg... Edit: King, it's time to give up your custom title.

Andrewr05 Posted April 6, 2008 Posted April 6, 2008 (edited) 2 Ubuntu cases, 2 cd's, some other thing (what is that?) as a shim and a piece of twine to hold the corner down... Edited April 6, 2008 by Andrewr05 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comp Dude2 Posted April 6, 2008 Posted April 6, 2008 very ghetto, but i wouldnt push the memory too hard (seeing as it is now completely bare) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingdingeling Posted April 6, 2008 Posted April 6, 2008 But seriously, throw some cable ties or something on that...one gentle bump to the case and your graphics card goes up like the Hindenburg... That's true though, if you have nothing to hold it properly, that's a very dangerous mod! Also the flexing of the PCB is not that good Edit: King, it's time to give up your custom title. NO! I shall not give up the title.... ever! Seeing as how Puck did a ghetto mod like this ages ago on his 9800Pro (2nd in the whole 3D mark ranking I believe?), he has first dibs, if at all Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont suggest running that 24/7. Besides having the PCB bent, without being physically attached all it takes is one nudge to loose 100% contact on the core and that card will be toast Pretty unique idea though, points for creativity! Find a way to mod it on there securely, then volt mod it and let the real overclocking begin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest stereogames Posted April 6, 2008 Posted April 6, 2008 my computer is in a closed compartment in my computer desk, so there is no chance of that! And i already lave it running last night! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comp Dude2 Posted April 6, 2008 Posted April 6, 2008 lol, still it is bound to receive a knock eventually. (and i just noticed the bit of string pulling the gfx card down lol) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
