        Forget the Orbs, they might look cool, but they aren't cool.

        Go for Paul's CoolJag Modification, that can be found here in the Matrox Hardware forum (or the soontm link shown above).

          Hello,

          nForce2 MX intergrated video is actually pretty darn good, but I do miss 16xFAA!?!? Way to go nVidia.

              Yes he probably has, but he can't give you any numbers since he's a betaboy.

                  The CoolJag is 63 x 60mm and just barely fits the Parhelia. I doubt you could fit the 68 x 60mm G4 cooler on the Parhelia.

                  But copper is definitely the way to go for air cooling.

                  Don't even waste your time and money on the Orbs. They won't cover this large GPU and they just aren't able to cool anything this hot.


                  BTW - I tried using Arctic Silver Epoxy and my temps increased by 4 degC. I did mix it with a small amount of Arctic silver paste so I would be able to remove it.

                  I spread as thin of a layer as possible but the stuff just doesn't conduct the heat as well as paste.

                  I was "Very Lucky" to get the heatsink off without damaging the GPU.

                  So, I highly recommend that you guys avoid using any kind of Thermal Epoxy on the Parhelia.

                  Actually, the safest upgrade if you feel you absolutely must do this is to: remove the waxy thermal compound under the stock heatsink and replace it with Arctic Silver or some other good paste. The spring loaded pins will hold the Heatsink in place so you won't have to mess with any kind of adhesives.
