Who needs water???
I finally modded my Radeon 9800Pro to take an Alpha PAL 6035 as it's HSF. Without voltmods so far I can now hit 450-460 on the core stable. It OCs so much better than with the stock garbage. ;) As far as final clocks I'm still tweaking...will update once finished...
Fit on shim...It's great.
The rear mounts quite easily...nuts and nylon washers.
I used a Dremel and cutting wheel to lob off the pins in order to make room for the allen bolts.
A really nice profile shot. Notice just how tiny the stock heatsink really is. Honestly it's kinda like running nothing at all.
If it says Alpha™ it's gotta be good... ;)
Final shot...Now she's got a real chance... ;):banana:
nice! i've been keeping my Alpha PEP66 for the same purpose.
wow that small thing can o/c that much??

Just curious, what did your card do with original cooling in place?
nice job:)
It did 420/350 stock...Quote:

Just built a system for a friend here, BBATI 9800P max 415/390 out of box, not the greatest but memory is promising. He'll probably want some better clocks out of it though so better cooling and probably a little more voltage..
Voltmods done as well.

Siiiiccck, put that stock on nb ;)
very nice, im gonna have to try that.
Yeah, might be a good way to get a bit more out of my 9800se (softmoded to pro) I was gonna watercool it with a pelt, but this looks much quicker and easier, (no condensation or anything).
good job
Thanks :toast:Quote:

good work :toast: so i'll have to look for what the vmods did to your card as mine (the slightly different one with the xt-layout pcb) was a complete bummer. - i torture benched it yesterday... aa, af & trueform all set to maxx and looping it with just the tiny stock heatsink @xt defaults.. didn't artifact, so i threw 420/375 at her hehe finally some artifacts... oh and at those maxes settings i got a whoopin as$ 1805 '03 on my palo 1800 :D shag-a-delic.
see what an old p4-heatsink can do :D
after all it seems this type of 98pro can do better than the average 98p (xt), hmmm have to prove that wrong ehehe.. also the mods are in different places with these two cards but they use basically the same parts just located slightly differently on the pcb...
What kind of fan is that?
i'm guessing 60mm Delta. those things were annoying as hell, so it could be a quieter fan.
Hm well i'm not sure how much air this TMD fan pushes but its decent, 5700rpm and almost no dead spot because there is no fan motor in the middle...
Its 70mm

Alpha™ > Vantec

My GPU cooler was an extra OEM AMD CPU fansink, and I got similar overclocking results... 459 Core with no volt mods and temps never over 109F. There is a pic here.

Hollywood, did you get any core temperature readings using your new cooling?
Cheers mate nice mod :toast:
Do you have any room left at all to place a soundcard or something. I was planning to use te same cooler for mij card(cos it has a crappy gpu cooler), but im afraid it'll block all my pci slots, except the bottom one which ill use for my audigy(well i hope i doesnt block that one too). So do you have a pic of it hangin' in your agp slot so i can get an idea of how much space it takes up? THX
(BTW First post here!)
your ready for some more volts to that card!!! Im not seeing any volt mods. Get to work!!!Quote:

Be nice to see 500 core out of it. You've got the cooling.
water is nice....if you like a mess of a case. :P
im thinking of fitting a Akasa AK-350 low profile CPU Cooler, since my stock ATI coolers fan is broken.......:(
