Nvidia Card W/ This Fan?

[haha21]

look at the picture my card its not possible to fit a screw in its to big of a gap...
so how did you stick your cooler in?

i dont want to tape it ...
no screwing
its rather gluing it.

should i make the 80mm exhaust or intake.

my heatsync is silver, and had gaps on the edges of the heatsync where it was possible to add in a fan...kinda hard to explain, ill try to find you a pic...

edit: im still looking for a better pic, but it is kinda like this:


only the while thing is a lot bigger in width and length, and the middle is more filled out...but the edges are like what you see, able to be screwed into...

i see...
but... look at mine mines all gapped!
no skinny parts to plug my 80mm fan in?
and i still dont know how to stick the 80mm fan and hold it.

huh? u changed the heatsync?

[haha21]

no i had a another card before with the same chipsets.
for some reason my other fx card fan was making alot of noise so i switched to heatsink and i noticed a decrease in preformance warranty is off now.

performance won't decrease if it gets hot...just it will start to artifact (little blobs and crap on the screen).

well it might, but i doubt it...

feel teh heatsync, is it hot?

il check.
is it just me.. i dont know =P

i just want to o/c anyways since the msi card has its own o/c software.
