Passive Cooling for Hercules 9500 Pro

25th March 2003, 19:46

In my search for a quiet system, am I looking for a passive cooling solution for my Hercules 9500 Pro

I've considered buying a zalman 80 thingie but that basterd ain't gonna fit cause there are heatsinks on the back of my 9500 Pro's PCB :'(

Which heatsinks fits this card ?? there are 5 casefans in my system, so there is enough airflow.. but they're regulated @ min speed so you don't hear them

:help:

you could alter the heatsinks on the back :grr:

the Zalman 80 in a good airflowed case will surely keep the radeon cool

I COULD do that... but they are there for a reason I think.. and I don't wanna screw my brand new 9500

I've almost had a hartattack by placing a descent shim between core and stock cooler... (that bastard wasn't giving contact with the HS...there was a HUGE ammount of AS between it

try the put-your-graka-in-the-freezer trick..
It worked on my GF2 mx400.
