i am planning on doing some sort of duct but im getting a new case soon so i will have to wait

my friend used some card which he painted with several coats of superglue after it was taped into place. the card hardened and was removed and he made a fibre glass cast with the stuff you get for car body repair. after sanding then painting he did a nice job. im unsure on figures but it did improve the temperatures. he had an antec case with 2 x 80mm fans ont he front
I absolutely LOVE this kind of heatsink modding! Lets see what else we can do to further improve performance! Maybe slap some small vga ramsinks on the heatpipes?
