Windows 7: GB Mods ( cheap yet effective mods )

I bought hyper tx3 which reduced my core temps a lot

previous temps ( under load )

core 1= 65 c
core 2=60 c
cpu =53 c

new temps ( under load )

core1= 53 c
core2= 48 c
cpu = 42 c

BUT the GPU (9500gt ) is at 48c without load !!

SO i am working on some mods to reduce my GPU temps , will upload the info soon !



BE CONNECTED !

so here is what i m thinking of doing .......... Cut the highlighted part of intel heatsink and use it on 9500gt ! ! !

Any suggestion how to cut it?????????????????

just completed and surprized by the results ....................
temps of my 9500gt just dropped to 42c from 48 idle .

old temps
idle temps =48-49 c
load temps=65 c max

new temps
idle temps =41-42 c
load temps=50 c max ( Its the max temps when i OC my gpu )

i will upload the pics soon

I am wondering how did you cut it ....

Can you share the pictures with us ....

Well i didn't cut it ........... I just caught fins 1 by 1 with plas and move em left right until the fin broke...............( 20min hardwork)

SORRY for crappy quality pics

I used intel heatsink only . The fan on it is a cheap one , used because it was easy to glue on heatsink .........

i would never had fought of cutting a heatsink and sticking it in a graphics card, good job

I miss in my post that i used a string to attach heatsink to my card (LOL) see pic 4 in above post........
And here is the furmark burn results .... MAx 50c , tried hard to climb above but failed
Its the best cooler i think ..... Which gpu cooler give that results ???

Furmark is so and so when it comes to temp and stability testing what I have heard, and if you really want a good cooler you should get something like the link bellow Asetek Puts the Liquid Cooling In ARCTIC Accelero Hybrid Graphics Card Cooler - Asetek, Inc. Its the same as corsairs liquid cooling for cpu but this is for graphic cards ^^

I found that my built-in GPU was also heating up (though not creating any problem) i had the inno3d 9500gt small fan. which i installed on it and cooled it too

Modifocaton addict, but good and effective ideas on the other hand!
