All,
I wanted an improved cooling solution for my Raddy9700.
My card was already a good clocker as it's 427/361 would suggest. In staying with air as it works for me;)
I studied air coolers and bought an ALPHA PAL6035MUC
It's a cute little aluminum HS with a copper base inserted.
I removed the stock HS/F (pos) and removed the metal shim (with a razor blade) I drilled and tapped holes in the bottom of the HS/F aligning to the stock "diagonal" holes, I secured the HS/F with stainless steel 4-40 machine screws and nylon washers.
I've got a terrible WinXP install, so I'm re-installing today. I'm gonna' try cat 3.0 and dx9. I've seen a few excellent 3dmk scores that use it. But in early testing, very low clocks 360/335...gave me a lobby high of 110!!!!!!!!!!!!! at vcore 1.64gpu and 3400Ghz cpu.
I've ordered some super round pin 15mm aluminum heatsinks for the DDR chips. My card supplies 2.94v stock, so I'll probably do no mem mod. Big things to come, guys! Pictures in a few days too.
