Reply #20 - 20.07.05 at 04:22:12 i just use compressed air to clean the fan and the back of the card. pretty decent already and there is no point getting it really clean after all.

Reply #21 - 20.07.05 at 10:23:57 hmm that is an idea Edmund, I mostly dismantle my coolers and use window wiper on a paint brush and the I clean every fanblade of my VPU/GPU 3D chip's coolers, I use the brush because, a brush is a gentle item to use on such breakable things.

Go 4 it! I remember using these things in primary school when I was about 7 or 8. In fact, you are spot on. They will do such a superb job! Nice one Paul!

well here's my ASUS ATi RadeonX800XT Platinum Edition AGP with 256MB GDDR3 from Hynx @ 1.6ns. yes it's fast, it did max mem OC from 1120Mhz to 1460Mhz Roll Eyes

with radlinker, don't need newer cooling the copper cooler from ASUS is just fine the way it is really

here's the front of my board:

here's the back of my board:

anyway I usually run it at stcck speeds this card runs everything on the Dual OpteronDP 244 , it's the best VGA I ever have had since the Ti4600.

I keep it clean by dismanteling the cooler and cleaning it with an old paintbrush dipped with Glassex Glass cleaner.
afterthat I pollish it clean with a glasses cloth so it shines again
