I put memory heatsinks on my P? Just wondering. . . .

), and of course a Matrox Parhelia Retail Vid Card -
Technically any modification to the card will void the warranty.
But, if you can remove the heatsinks with no evidence of them having been there, nobody will notice...Core2 Duo E7500 2.93, Asus P5Q Pro Turbo, 4gig 1066 DDR2, 1gig Asus ENGTS250, SB X-Fi Gamer ,WD Caviar Black 1tb, Plextor PX-880SA, Dual Samsung 2494s -
ROFLMAO
Yea... don't think they will notice

Depends on how you attach it though!
Personally I'm going to buy those Coolermaster copper ones for my P...P4 Northwood 1.8GHz@2.7GHz 1.65V Albatron PX845PEV Pro

Not sure on specifics and probably won't if it may void my warranty, just wanted to make it run cooler. Was thinking some copper ramsinks. I've seen some around but don't know if any are above and beyond the others. . .My "Baby": Shuttle SS51G, P4@2.26 Ghz 533 FSB, 80 GB Western Digital Caviar "Special Edition" Hard Drive 7,200 RPM w/8 MB Cache, 512 MB Corsair PC2700 with Heat Spreaders, Pioneer DVD Drive (w/sexy slot load ), and of course a Matrox Parhelia Retail Vid CardComment

AFAIK Cu ramsinks aren't efficient if you use them as passive heatsinks. I think it's because it has low heat capacity so they will get hot quickly. However, copper sinks with a fan is great because heat can be transferred to the top quickly and be cooled right-away. I am not sure tho...
btw... AFAIK black heatsinks are efficient.Last edited by Chrono_Wanderer; 23 February 2003, 22:57.Comment

Cu has a very high heat capacity, and heat conductivity. A fan will not change that any way.Comment

Marshmallowman is right.
But Aluminium has better ability to dispense heat, although it doesn't hold as much heat. So I still think the Swiftech heatsinks are the best.
BUT THAT'S NOT THE POINT!!
The point is that Cu looks way cooler and the best thing is you know its copper!! (adds some 1337ness heheh )

AL heats up faster, so it initially will disipate heat faster than CU. But after they have both reached there max temp, the CU will probably be working better, due to its better heat transfer. The dissapation rates(emissitivty) for AL might be slighly higher but there would not be much in it compared to Cu
And its harder for people to steal your computer becasue of the extra KG's
