Modding a parhelia for overclocking

[Blackphoenix]

Ok, I'm figuring to get an Parhelia, probably a retail one, and I plan on trying some overclocking once the apps are available.

I'm just curious how many people are going to do this?

Chances are I'd proably use artic silver grease, with a drop of super glue in each corner to hold it on. Nice tip from another thread, just cut the superglue with a thin razor blade.

Anyways, being as paranoid as I am I'm afraid of the heatsink falling off.

This is the heatsink I'm thinking of using, my case has two 92mm fans on the side of the case blowing right on the agp port so that should make up for the loss of a fan.

I'll probably just overclock the core, maybe the memory slightly, but I think the core is the lacking part of the card.

Tell me what you guys think?

Ok maybe I should have been more specific

Has anyone used this particular heatsink?

Also does anyone have guesses about how overclockable the parhelia might be?


Thanks

Just remember, that no matter what has been said in any of these threads if your card should fail for any reason after you make a modification to it, it will not be replaced under warranty.

I understand that....I'll probably just chicken out and not do it, since I'd be spending almost $400 for it.

I do have 2 92mm fans blowing on the agp area, so that should help it cool down.
