AMD OEM heatsink for xp2000+
its bullshit, i wouldnt put that thing on a duron. but its small, and will do the job.

oops. i glued it on. straight. that was all my luck used up in 1 years, and it even still plugs into the AGP.

RESULTS?
10 degree drop in temp!
i can now overclock to 260 core. from 240. which is crap.
Oh well. it looks neat.

The cores/ram are overclocked from 166MHz to 183MHz and run completly stable overclocked with 4xFSAA (FSAA tends to make this card very hot).

You see on the arctic silver...

Rain what the fuck are you doing playing with that stuff! ;)

And your heatsinc/fan must waste around 2 - 3 PCI slots just so you can overclock the video card a bit :)

yea it takes up 2....
i dont care, i dont need anything else haha

my new motherboard has one more pci slot in it anways, so if i ever need to upgrade something i can.

i will just say that this is a much better cooling solution then the default POS
sure it takes up 2 pci slots and not everyone likes that, but this card when overclocked runs cooler then it did at STOCK cooling at STOCK frequencies.

I am happy, and its quiet, and its got speed sensing.

DUAL FANS :twisted: :twisted:

Post 17

They were both going the same way, right?

Post 18

one would hope :P

its an interesting idea - the Russians did something similar with the KA-50 Hokum attack chopper and it seemed to work for them :P

thing that gets me is the card looks like a GF2 of some flavour, so I have to ask why it needed such an obscene amount of cooling :P

Post 19

Yeah that card is a Geforce 4 4200 ABit version ;)

:D

yes its Korny :d changed name

Post 20

hey that ABIT GF4 Ti 4200 OTES Siluro looks like my card

LOL

Oh hang on that is my card :) oh by the way korny it has a 7200rom fan on it but I also have an extra 8000rpm fan right under neath it aswell :)

GOD I LOVE OCing MY CARD

Post 21

lol with an 8000 rpm fan pushing on a 72,00 fan its bound to at 8 lol

How could you mistake an über Voodoo3 for a GF2? :?

The chip does get hot and mine burns me every now and then, but I have one exhaust fan below the card and it runs at a quarter of the temp.

easy - I've never seen a Voodoo 3 in the flesh before :P

Post 24

Yeah with the HS on it Jimmys GF2 looks pretty similar to a voodoo 3 mostly cos of the HS being the same

Post 25

A GF2 with AGP 1.0?
The AGP slot gives it away :wink:
Not that I can't see that it's a Voodoo3 from a mile away.

Post 31

lol I bought a Duroff 900 to temporarily run in my PC for a week or two :lol:
The little bastard ran hotter than my XP1900 :oops:
Fucking Duroff98

My Smelleron 1300 is so much better than it.

Post 32

My duron 1G runs at a happy 41 to 45 degrees in an un-airconditioned room, Not yet sure what Lilu's 1.1 will run at, I still have to reformat the drive.

Check the oil and water plz .... suprised he doesnt have grease nipples on the ends of the fan spindles ....
