    Thumbs up GPU Cooling... (56k beware)

    Here's a thread for all competitors to share pictures of their Xabre200 cooling systems...



    Hasn't really helped me much, but I think I'm ready for whenever we figure out a GPU volt mod.

    [edit]Vgpu mod figured by Holst... too bad my mobo and/or cpu died. I also have a Swiftech MCW50-T waiting to see some action.

    It's a D-TEK northbridge block...

    Glad I saw it laying there because it fits this card and my 9500np.

    And I gained 10-15MHz on the GPU overclock.

    What kind of mounting does it have? Does it use 4 holes or 2 diagonal holes?

    Fear baker18's cooling

    How are you gonna insulate that block baker18, it looks like its running very close to some caps there. Can you still use insulation like runmc does in this thread cos i wuld hav thort that the caps so close wuld hav made it very difficult to insulate against the type of temps u run?

    V.nice evap block though:thumbsup:

    Im going to insulate it like bowman did his evaps. Spray it with foam then cut it to shape. My gpu evaps mounts from the back of the card. The bottom plate has holes that are treaded for 4x40 screws.

    This is actually runmc's gpu block.

    Don't be.. I may not have time to bench at all. Too busy at work and too many projects going on at the same time.

    Looks like your in Los Angeles. What kind of cooling are you using? Im in the Valencia area.

    That's pretty nice Fever but this is for the Xabre200 competition. The pictures should of the cooling people are using for their Xabre200 video cards.
