about cooling
12.01.04 at 23:43:02
 
I have an old pentium II 350Mhz cooler and I wanted to use it to cool the memory.
I have the same board as the 9500pro, with the "I" mem, where could I put it to cool better?
Thanks in advance Wink

This is what I have, I can separate the cooler from the heatsink:

*ugh*

Am I correct that you intend to mount this Slot1 Cooler onto your Radeon 9500 Memory ?!

If so, I reckon this will be much too heavy, unless you cut it into several, RAM-Sized or stripes of pieces and find a way to safely attach it. (if any part of it would ever drop off, it'd probably cause you a really bad day)  Lips Sealed

Most guys I've seen, use small old 486 or (max.) small 586 Coolers (cut into the right size) as custom RAM heatsinks.

Yes, I thought the same, it seems to be too big Undecided
but if I put the cooler only in the back of the gpu, hopefully it could cool the gpu and consequently also low the temp of the memory ???

With placing anything on the back of the GPU, you have to be very careful not to allow the Heatsink to touch any electrical components (extreme Risk of short-circuit!)

Overall, not an easy Task.

I'd recommend visiting some known ATI Forums, where other Modders already left Threads about their own Mods, and what you'll have to take care about when doing it yourself. Smiley

PS.
Memory temps are independent from GPU Temps, as they are  clocked separately.
Looking at some Vendor Stock heatsinks (Backside GPU and RAM), you'll probably see the best examples of simple but effective solutions.

What could you possibly be running to make RAM get so hot, you need to sit heatsinks on it for?  Roll Eyes

They look a nifty little device, quite cool, but why? Do we really need them?

passive cooled 2nd generation cards with less than 128mb need it for proper gaming, believe me!  Wink well, with at least 128mb it's just a safety option.
