Well as one of my P£ 500 broke, what can I do with the HSF??? Um... GeForce Cooling! Yay. So I take the side of the case, get he card and have a look. Um, 3 pin hear, good, damn the connector is to big, don't worry get a flat screwdriver and force it off, good off (i was a bit scared for a min as a slipped!). Anyway, I have no may of fixing the fan on. Has anyone got any ideas how to secure the HSF. I was thinking of just 'blue tacking' it on but it wound't be to effective inless spread across the whole heatsink. Any ideas, or examples, please leave.
LOL no not bluetacking Get some arctic silver or arctic alumina epoxy from here (end pimp ) or elsewhere, and epoxy it to the core. You wont be gettin it off though Also clean the core and lap the heatsink to make sure u have full contact cause u dont want a dead gf4 do u
Thats another question I ment to ask. do heatsink coneduct electricty (don't laugh i'm not sure). I would't mind connecting the HSF to the back of the card.
well, heatsinks ussually are made of metal, and metal does conduct... to attach a heatsink use epoxy from artic silver, as pointed out... to attach the fan just use some screws...
As there's a risk of shorting contacts on the pcb don't do it. Another idea is to mount a thin fan in a piece of thin plastic sheet stuck in the nearest slot so it blows onto the AGP card.
Cheers, i'll problerly see if i can pick up a cheap PII for the heatsink any ways. cheers for the advice.
