Heatsink for v4500 agp ?????
17.05.03 at 01:39:50
Hey guys, on the back of my v4500 agp card i was thinking of putting down thermal tape 1\2 by 1\2 inch on the spot right behind the chip, on top of that i was gonna put a copper riser same size 1\8 thick silver\glued to a crystal orb, im thinking weight on the thermal tape wont be an issue because that side of card faces up, does anyone see anything wrong with my idea, please, please, please post if you do because im starting my mod on this card sunday, i already have the old heatsink off and the area cleaned up and have all my fans and sinks, all i have left is to cut the copper

hmm ok then
, im moddin my case and since im doing a 3dfx theme i thought it would be cool to mod my 4500 too, plus the damn thing is hot as hell on the back ass side so i thought since i was going to try a little over clocking i might want to address that spot too
so now what do you have to say, have you tried a rear heatsink or not ? oh yes i picked up a Zalman with the heatpipe, seems to be a good fit and has a thin sheet of plastic to go between the rear and the sink, well what about that?

yes a test with all three cards would be so cool, just with your 5000 against either of the other 2 would be nice, if you ever test it post it please, id love to see that
