Default This heatsink needs to be on the vid for Pro/Mini

This heatsink needs to be put on the Pro/Mini video card. You could possible have it anodized to match the OEM heatsink color.


P.S. That heatsink takes up 2 1/2 PCI slots. And covers the ram.

hahahah OMG actually this HSF on the Ultra is only warm to the touch. I will prolly bolt a Blorb on it in the mini but when/if its in DH3 a Water block will be bolted to it.

dotn't turn your back on the machine, or it may look for a better coolant... human blood... seemingly harmles silicon tubes getting a life and teeth of their own, snaking up their unwary owner's back, ready to dig deep into th brain for more coolant...

scary, isn't it?

Hey Joe, I took another look at your card and noticed they put (mounting)holes around the ram. I almost messed my shorts(had to take a shower though). I should've signed on as a staff member and worked on a way of strapping heatsink/waterblocks to EVERYTHING. Cause Steve(Hypotermia)'s setup doesn't give me the "GOOD LORD" factory as much as seeing stuff strapped down with bolts and wingnuts. That reminds me, I need to goto NASA and have my heatsink soon to be a waterblock drilled and tapped for mounting to that video card I posted a picture for.

PS. I added green dye(too much) to the water and it REALLY would look like something from aliens.

Infact a ProCooling Staff Member HAS worked on cooling the ram on the video cards in a pretty serious fasion. Unfortunately his CAT killed the card ( knocked it off the table).

The hardest part would be remove'n the RamSinks with out ripping the ram off. SO. I sent an email asking VisionTek for a Naked Ultra - No HSF, and No Ram sinks. and then let the ProCooling staffer have at it again ( this time without the Cat in the room).

He should be posting his article about the video card disaster soon.

Yes I did also notice the mounting holes around the ram sinks Also Hypo's ram cooling was a joke.

Joke or not, it still doesn't give "me" that "GOOD LORD" factor I have come to expect. Well, not from Steve, but from some place. Steve Foster and his systems come to mind though.

ha!
Don't even get me started on OChideout products, I have never and will never touch anything from them. I mean that 5x12 radiator costing like $69 when you could get it for much less, then they finally reduced the price, but then they came out with the Fusion radiator kit with 2 120s that was WAY overpriced. I'm not even gonna mention how generic and poor looking the watercooling systems are to me...ARGH!

My thoughts exactly, But It hink you were being awful kind to them. I think OCH's products are quite a few rungs below that even.

But thats just me. OCH/CPUFx is to water cooling what those big gay ass plastic wings people glue to thier rice grinders are to cars. ( 99% of those wings/park benches on the back of the cars are NON functional and supply no down force.. so you can see the relation to OCH's "pretty" yet hardly functional setups.)

Hehe. Running nylon hose through a freaking hole in metal isn't considered water-cooling. It is just air cooling w/ the hole blocked. Lol. Did Steve really think that the heat from the RAM would transfer from the metal through the hose?!?! Lol!
