So I just got my HD2900XT's and I know they are going to run amazingly hot (get the rest of my parts tomorrow). I remember when I was looking for benchmarks for it I found this website that had a guide on how to modify the stock hs/f to get better temps. It involved taking it off, sanding the heat plate with 1500 grit wet sand paper, polishing it putting AC(5?) on it and then re-installing it. It also involved drilling a series of small holes in the plastic air duct above the copper fins of the heatsink to suck in cold air as the hot air gets blown out (like the 8800 series does).
Does any one here know where this guide is because I can't for the life of me find it. I just need to know if there's anything else I can do as well as specifics and results.
