modding a cpu hsf on 9800

[Highland3r]

Standard stock/retail P4 sink. Drilled 2 holes in the base to correspond with the mouting holes on the card. Added 2 bolts, (trimmed the head off) these were sunk ~ 0.3cm into the holes and glued with araldite (2 part glue, resin + hardener). Had to trim 2 sections off the sink either side at the top (see pic) to to things being in the way, and file a little off 2 of the corners.
Mounts with 2 bolts and some rubber washers no problems.
Takes the 9800 to 515 core with an 80mm tornado which isnt at all bad.

Intel or A64 sinks seem to be ideal for gfx cards, they tend not to have the recessed edge the socket A ones do, and have a larger number of thinner fins.

Sink should also fit the x800 series, need confirmation of this however. It DOES fit the 9500 series though, and 9700, as long as you have the notches cut out with sufficient clearance, and file a little
