Looking To Mod My Gfx Card

[pc-gamer-dude]

he all. does anybody know of any good sites listing ati radeon 9600 gfx card mods? im looking to get into modding my card for better cooling so i can push it farther. if been looking on google but everytime i even type in radeon 9600, no matter how i use it, it comes up with places to buy the card.

oh... bwt- right now im using stock cooling with a 60mm fan mounted on the heatsink. so that means junk, small heatsink, with no ram sinks installed. so im in desperate need for some way of cooling this card.

has anyone found any good sites yet? i want to add an amd athlon xp2500+ heatsink to my gfx card (ati radeon 9600). and i want to know how to do this, ive searched around quite a bit and havnt found anything telling me how. and im not going to expirment on my own in fear of braking my brand new $100 gfx card.
anyone please help?

I wouldn't push that thing too far.

its stable and running at 450 core and 480 memory (i gotta update my sig). and it runs pretty cool. im gonna buy some ram sinks soon, but im really hoping to find a guide on how to mount non-standard heatsinks to my gfx card (like amds stock retails hsf that i have).

overclocking newer cards you wont see that much improvement, but overclocking an older card you'll see much better performance

Remember not to go TOO mad, keep watching those temps, if you play a game and it artifacts (breaks up, textures missing) you've pushed it too far. Good Luck mate :)
