Water cooling Prophet II Pro?

platypii · 07-11-2001, 03:45 PM

I have a Guillemot/Hercules Prophet II Pro (Geforece2 Pro) and would be interested in putting it in the loop of my water cooling system. The problem is that though the fan comes off with 4 screws, the heatsink is somehow attatched to the GPU. Obviously since this is the pride of my system I don't want to risk destroying the Geforce2 by ripping off the heatsink. So my question is: Does anyone know what can be done to water cool the Prophet II Pro?

Sorry, i was really not paying attention when i wrote that..... I _do_ have a small water block ontop of the existing heatsink, but i'm asking how one could put a peltier on there.

You can remove the heatsink with some Air duster. Just hold upside down and spray on heatsink for 2-4 sec. Then the bond will become brittle. Put the card in a vise, with the vise attached to the heatsink. Rock the card a bit and the heatsink will come off.

I read this somewhere. Don't know if it works or not. But that Air duster will freeze small things in a sec. I am going to try it as soon as a get my last warez for my water cooling rig.

Hope it helps.
