Ati,
This blower is windowdressing only...

I mean really....
Since my new card can monitor it's temps I was finally able to compare the efficiency of the silent Zalman heatpipecooler and other methods.
The fanless Zalman heatpipe cooler made things worse.
The Zalman chipset HS with no fan was better.
The Zalman HS with an 80mm fan blowing right at it is the best.
The stock ATI setup wasn't too bad, but the fan was noisy I thought.
Something about the harmonics of little, high RPM fans drives me nuts.
SAME! that highish pitched squeeling they let off is annoying! if not for the 60mm cpu fan, my compter would be very quiet (ive tested this).Quote:

*goes to talk dad into letting me buy an 80mm-to-60mm fan adaptor*
A 60 - 80 mm fan adaptor is like $4 at CompUSA so it should be a short converstaion.Quote:

How would you put that on the graphics card?
Magic.
leave the heatsink m8 for the noise factor man.....Manu's only began to use a fan for the look..a heatsink will do the job fine ,
oh god hes gonna get into some serious modding... ;)

yes, but there are no stores near me that I could buy it from...so if I was to buy it, it would have to be online. I have the money, but i need a credit card. thats where im stuck. he wont let me use his. anyway, he says soon he'll buy me the case and fans i wanted for my birthday, and ill get it at that time.
But like theres no screw holes on the HS to put a 80mm fan adapter..how would you do it? or can u?
