Yeah.. I once strapped a socket 7 cpu heatsink onto a 3DFX Voodoo 3... took up the AGP slot and 2 PCI slots below it.

Here's a pic of another Voodoo that I strapped a 6cm fan to..

[Lord]

what did you use to strap it on?

[Serzoni]

If you look close at the pics, I pressed some 3mm locknuts into the corner holes on the fan and then ran 2 long 3mm screws through the back of the card up through the heatsink mounting holes and into the locknuts on the fan.

Nope.. Titanium ringlets.. I'm allergic to most metals..j/k

Man.. that's an old pic.. pre-married Serzoni.
No more long hair (you can see a hint of it.. it was pulled back in the pic), 50 lbs heavier, and a much faster video card now.



And for the record- I have "regular" sized nipples.. and they're very hairy despite my chest looking like a barren wasteland..lol

[Lord]

no no my strapon works just fi.......no wait....

I used heatsink screws that many older heatsinks had. They are basically a short fat wood screw that fits in between the heatsink fins (but not too tightly)

?? you didn't screw through the card did you? also, Serz i'm going to order that cooler for the card...but should i get the thermal paste and reapply before i put the card on?

[Serzoni]

yeah.. definately replace the old paste. The heatsink should come with a small tube or pouch of it. If not, a tube of it is available at radioshack for about $2

No heatsink screws are only about 1/4 inch long go from fan to heatsink.

Ya, I was amazed at difference of thermal pastes too. While experimenting with water cooling and such I got tube of Artic Silver and gained another 2-3 degrees.

Little bit more but worth it.

Just add water to your system.
