I know a lot of people that picked up a H50 for $40 at best buy the other day and some were trying to find a way to mount it on their Fermi card. I drew out a mounting plate that goes on top of the existing plate and holds it down. You will need 4 7/8" 2-56 thread screws.
After I get this machine shop to cut one out and it works pretty well, would there be a market for these mounting plates? I wouldn't sell for much of a profit... maybe 10%(plate would be $5 or $6 shipped maximum).
Go ahead and make your own plate if you have the equipment... I stole the hole measurements from the Swiftech diagram of their GF100 mounting plate.
Ideally you would use a H70 or H60 on your GPU because it is so thin, but for $40 the H50 is a perfect upgrade from stock cooling if you don't have or need SLI. It has been done with a H70 and a GTX 480 already on the Corsair blog. I'm just copying that idea.
