Wouldn't want any leaks! (God forbid!)

Just wondering... All you people (but mostly others) are blaiming a guy for adding some fans on a 6000 (http://forum.voodooalert.de/thread.php?threadid=10841) wich can be removed at any time, and the original fans reinstalled, and the card will regain its original state. Meanwhile you only say good things about someone who has a 6K wich can not get back in its original shape due to the removal of heatsinks. I agree that this watercoolig looks very nice, and the other 6K from voodooalert looks kind of funky, but i am convinced that it is better cooled, not that it would matter.

to solder the fans on a 6000 is not the same as to add some fans which can be removed!
please take a closer look! the fans are soldered at the pcb! so the 6000 cannot be regained easily to the original status!

@gtxe: nice job...clean, simple and efficient...and easily to remove Wink

@Gary: I appologise. You are quite right. Correction: it should have been "all you people from this board who posted in that topic" but I stress the "mainly others", because most were others.

Excuse me, but soldering at that scale is absolutely easy to undo. If you do not have internal PSU hoockup, you need to solder in those places anyway. Since i have the metal support for the internal PSU hoockup cable soldered in all 8 points (as many others have it) my 6K is the object of criticism, isn't it? I didn't say anything about the watercoooling not being a nice job... I'm just amaised of how people reacted to a very creative ideea. After all quantum3d cooled v3 chips from the back, so it might not be a bad ideea after all. And... If you think that "hanging" a 0.4KG (+the weight of the water in it) thing on a 6k is less damaging, then soldering in two points where it was meant to be soldered, you might just be wrong. I will stress that I am NOT criticising this watercooled card. It is indeed a very nice job. I just can't understand why people jumped at a guy, who in my opinion did a mod wich really might help cooling a 6K. I know it from experience that no matter how good you're cooling the face of the chip, the back of the pcb will still be untouchably warm. (tested on my 5500)

maybe it is easy to solder such things....in my opinion its not neccessary! why not use two 120 or 80mm fans which blow on the pcb?
if i own such a rare piece of pcb i won't solder anything on it! why? it looks awful! and if you do a bad mistake you can damage your card! is it worthful? in my opinion: NO!

the v5 6000 looks great...with all these soldered fans it is no real 6000 anymore! more than gtxe's mod should not be done!

hutzeputz (german collector) use a few fans for cooling his 6000....that is the way it meant to be cooled Wink

Now i understand why you criticised the guy for his mod... Thanks for your excellent explaination! Roll Eyes

Now I don't wonder anymore... About soldering in those points: "This really isn't rocket science in either case if you can handle a soldering iron." by Gary. I would say many many more things right now, but I won't. Believe whatever you wish, and criticise whoever you want. I'm outta here!
