thats crazy air cooling right there.

pr0digal jenius · Nov 18, 2004, 08:54 PM

thats like....a great way to use ALL your PCI slots, not have room for a CPU HSF, and break yer card off at the AGP connector

MiDKnYtE · Nov 18, 2004, 08:58 PM

He says they aren't as heavy as they look. I guess they are all aluminum heatsinks. Maybe they are counting on the fact that there is a lot of onboard stuff like audio and network, so you don't need as many pci slots.

He's pretty big over at rage3d, and it seems that the results (from some peeps at rage) are at least as good as what he advertises on his site. Really crazy looking mods tho

Volcom929 · Nov 18, 2004, 10:23 PM

Wonder what the cost is....

krips · Nov 19, 2004, 12:39 AM

If I remember correctly it's about $125USD to have your card done. Me, I'd just put that money towards a new card, but some people like to pay for individuality.

pr0digal jenius · Nov 19, 2004, 07:18 AM

krips · Nov 19, 2004, 04:19 PM

It's like a military drill sargent, yelling "You worthless piece of ****, you ain't nothing...." etc.

The_Neon_Cowboy · Nov 19, 2004, 05:16 PM

ugly, poorly done and pretty sloppy especally for $125 lol

krips · Nov 20, 2004, 06:23 PM

Yeah, it's to monsterous to look nice. Besides, my 1U copper cooler I modded would probably cool just as good anyway, and for only $40 (ok, so I got ripped off). He does volt mod it though...I'm not an expert in volt modding

SIK_L_CELL · Nov 20, 2004, 08:31 PM

He does great work, ViperJohn is easily the most competent ATI mod guru I know. (besides myself)

LOL!

Sandok · Nov 20, 2004, 08:36 PM

OMG he's nuts... Good but nuts...

Zardon · Nov 20, 2004, 09:55 PM

They look hideous to me - im sure they work fine but there is nothing subtle or aesthecially pleasing about them, its just a case of "bolt on as many fans and sinks as possible", better putting the money towards watercooling, especially considering the noise.

Sandok · Nov 20, 2004, 10:02 PM

Never thought of the noise... Wonder what DBA he gets... Water cooling... Can't u use liquid nitrogen? I mean, would cool well...

**dj_stick** · Nov 20, 2004, 10:28 PM

hmm too bad i use all my PCI slots…

acually I wish I had a friend with a machine shop I have some awesome idea's

i'magine combine low cost air cooling, with a low-mid end
watter cooler to = a relitively cheap high end cooling soultion asumeing my idea works good... but it again is just an idea of mine.....

something that could bridge the gap between watter cooling and vapochill
but with a lower bottom line...

Liquid nitrogen is neither practical or affordable for the average Joe.

krips · Nov 21, 2004, 05:20 PM

Very dangerous LN2 is.

Geminiwave · Nov 21, 2004, 09:14 PM

really? I l2-ized my HP pavilion once to see if It could overclock at all(fyi, it cant!) and it turned out fine. I dont have access to it anymore though because my father no longer has a lab. He moved to computer programming...punk. No more L2 for me. hahah.

you really do need to ease off the whiskey bud

Geminiwave · Nov 21, 2004, 11:14 PM

actually I was 12. I didnt drink back then. I think its the booze that keeps me loopy enough now to NOT try such things.

Why doesnt the K6-2 overclock anyway? I would have thought that it could overclock well since it was at 333mhz and alot of the K6-2's in those days were 500mhz.
