My Xtreme Videocard Cooling :D

[QuikSilver]

Since I am confined to air, I decided to take it to the xtreme. Check out this baby I just rigged up for the upcoming competition to cool my new x850xtpe :D Pushes around ~500CFM of air

Actually if you use that and modify any decent CPU cooler out now and have a decent card I bet you could get some fairly badass clocks...

Rofl, a lot of CFM...
Cubic feet per minute = CFM
So basicly u having a lot of volume pushed true fans, but still the videocard remains the same size. Only the air passing the videocard is cooling it, so all the other air not being pushed to the card is just lost air, or better: lost energie.
All I want to say, this might not be better then a single 120mm fan.

Oh well, it looks kind of cool :D It helps cool the mobo components too

Gonna rig up some ducting for a 120mm Delta, as mentioned above 90% of the air cools the area around the sink, rather than the sink itself.
Also need to make sure the air you blow over the card is cold ;) Blowing warm air can do more harm than good...

Rofl, here is my Xtreme air cooling. No matter where I aim it, it cools the video card and just about everything else in the way. :rotf:

drcrawn has the right idea. I mean thats how you gotta roll if you want high clocks.
