My Gpu Mod

I know the pics are quite terrible, so no need for complaining about that, but here are some pics of my modded 9600XT.
I promised a few people to show them some pics, so I dug up a very old webcam and took these horrid quality pics, but you can at least get the idea! :lol:

And last but not least, the results!

The 28C is while running all day today including a bit of gaming, and also the card is OC'ed, not bad if I do say so myself!

B)

That's awsome, how did you get the ramsinks that match the heatsink? thats cool.

Can you get a pic of teh clips holding on the heatsink?

I took my time and looked around :P
I'll see what I can do, I may have to take out the card for that, so I'll be 2 mins tops :)

EDIT just remembered I don't have an old graphics card to use to take the pic while my card is out, so I can take pics, but they sure won't be good lol

Here you go Rossco, best I could do :rolleyes:

That what you wanted?

The clips are just like a kind of pushpin type thing.

are they just the normal type of pin you use to hold the stock heatsink on? or are they differnt?

i still can't really tell what they are...and where did those loops come from on the side of the heatsink, did you weld those on or something?

Yes, I welded those loops on, did a fine job too :rolleyes:

and yeah the clips are almost identical to the stock ones, mine are just a bit longer then the ones I had with the stock heatsink.

ok well now atleast i know what to do. Maybe next (school) year I will be able to do welding in my tech classs again and i could weld that...which welder did you use? :unsure: all the ones at my school would probably have melted at least a little bit of that metal before the loops were secured on...lol.

:lol: Sorry for the misunderstanding but I did not weld those on! notice the " :rolleyes: " smiley, as in I was joking ;)
If you were to weld those on there would be no clips left at all, that metal is quite thin and would melt near instantly.
I used this cement type stuff. It comes in two tubes and when the two components are mixed, it becomes rock solid
