| 328715 | 2005-02-27 19:37:00 | meh.......Computers aren't considered cool by the vast majority of people..... anyhow, That video card is crap,utter utter crap, not worthy of the money and time wasted on trying to mount a new fan on it, Buy a second hand g4ti and get your mind blown. |

| 328716 | 2005-02-27 21:57:00 | have a look here (www.overclockers.co.nz) tho finding something to fit a gf4mx might be tricky. any decent passive heatsink is going to mean you will loose the use of the first pci slot. if you can't find one mayby you could make one. a cut down cpu heatsink might work. make sure it has large spacing between the fins tho. old p2 heatsinks might be a good starting point. if your into gaming then it may be cheaper to buy a 2nd hand gf3 or gf4ti. |

I'm certainly not a little boy - neither little nor a boy and I upgrade fairly often and its not to keep up with the times, whatever that means. What drives the hardware industry, which everyone should know by now, is games. Fair enough if your PC is for home office use only but if you want to use it for games as well, then you do need to upgrade it. Its got nothing to do with cool at all. |
