Heatsink lovin'

[Moleman]

Here's a nice tip to recycle the standard G400 Heatsink, Today I decided to remove the standard heatsink of my G400 and replace it with a larger one, so when I was finished I still had the original heatsink, I looked at my G400, looked at the Heatsink, looked again at the G400, and came a good recycling idea.

I started sawing the heatsink into 8 different parts, polished the bottom and glued them to my Ramchips on the G400. I don't know if it will help alot, but now It looks like one badass cooled G400.

I'll do some testing later, if someone is intrested I'll post some results

Post a picture (or link to any) as well. Might be interesting to see what a G400 Hedgehog looks like

Hey, I kinda did the same thing with my G200. I put the HS on the back with Frag Tape. I put a Tennmax Lasagna on the chip. Then I bought some small HS from Radio Shack. Each one, cut in half fit perfectly on the RAM chips. I attached them with Frag Tape as well. I ought to post a picture. Maybe tonight.

Check these out if you want HS for the ram chips. They also have a pic of a GeF____ with all ram chips covered in HSs.

Two more HSs links of interest

These have a little more flexability as they are not 1HS for 2CHIPS as the last ones were.

I tried overclokcin the card a little more, but I had no luck, I'm still stuck at 290Mhz System PPL clock in MGAtweak with default divider settings, it's a G400 Vanilla btw, and I think the Ram is the limit

btw does anyone know better settings for the dividers?

Oh and no picture of it, don't have a camera

That, dear friends, is a kid with time, and ingenuity on his hands.

I like it when people aren't wusses about amending thier own hardware. I on the other hand am a wuss. (one computer that I share with my wife!)

We need to get the fella with the PIII 500 running at 620 to show us pics of his sheet metal extravaganza...
