Nicely done looks better for sure. Any temperature difference you can give?

:toast:

idk the exact numbers yet I'm still setting up the system, but at least the heatsink is warm to the touch rather than burning :P

But P3 didn't fit well though, I had to put a piece of copper in there to act as IHS.
btw most laptop coolers uses 5v not 12v, I fried one last time, lol

Awesome little mod. It was hard to find coolers that would fit at the angle of the P3 bracket system. Creative use of a laptop cooler, very nice!

Hmmm
Very nice Thrilla :up:

I guess this thing would look great on some low/middle end GPU

Anyone know the stock vCore for a P3 450mhz slot 1? I can't find it anywhere, but I know 2.0v is way too high

I think the stock vCore is actually around 1.8...

EDIT: It is 2.0v

wow that's crazy, lol, I thought high vCore was the reason it heated up on the stock cooler, meh, time for some action
