its alittle tough to try the hard sli connecter


ill melt back those two pipes if i have to.

or just use a floppy type connecter


its cooling my volt modded(1.48) card down 11-13 over stock fan.
but i'm not the reviewing type

it would look really good on black pbc


lots of room for xtra fans on both cards

Nice low profile too - is that lower profile height than stock heatsink/fan ??? Or about the same ?

no its thinner than the stock fan by a 1/3 of an inch(sry dont know how many cm that is) two u.s dimes width max.e-nuff room to fit a fan under bottom card in sli for most cases,i have them on my tech station in pics so it really does not matter.

Thanks 1 inch = 2.54cm so 1/3 inch = ~0.84cm

Wonder if that's enough of a low profile for P5E3 Deluxe users and crossfire ?

Looks like it fits all cards except 2900XT http://www.pccasegear.com.au/prod5667.htm

Cool Hey Y'all

I explained what I did at this link here http://www.circuitremix.com/index.ph...83#comment-357

Submitted by JohnnyBob (not verified) on December 5, 2008 - 12:29am. I have 2 8800 GT setup in

I have 2 8800 GT setup in SLi mode, My friend came across this post when we were looking for cooling aftermarket cooling solutions for Grfx cards. Well to make along story short I spun off this Dudes idea but added a lil sumtin to it, I used to 80 mm fans, I took pictures for reference. I got home from Wholesale Computer supply at approx. 5:30 PM and I have just now completed the procedure to where it works flawlessly. I did however do something else a lil different with the fan setup. Like I said I used 2 80 mm fans but went a lil further and decided that I would leave the stock fan inside because when I got to looking at the way the blades were setup they are just designed to push the air strait trough the heat sink fins so I figured that I would set the fan over top of it pushing air onto it and the other fan directing heat out or if You would rather use the term exaust well do. My temps are phenominal and there is a huge difference, My buddy was thinking it might be a lil' bit of an air conflict at first but I decided to give it a try and Im glad I did but I owe My buddy alot of thanks cause He helped Me out the whole way through even though we are states apart We was using Yahoo Mssngr and Video Cam. My cards came OC'ed stock from BFG core 625 and shader 1566. My Pc was always shutting down on Me during gameplay on My COD4 server so last night I finally figured I had enough and I was gonna do something about it and tonight I did just that, I personally reccomend any1 trying this to take Your time bro and dont be stupid like Me and run drill bits through Your fingers and forget to make the holes big enough cause 1 u start cutton on the shroud it looses integrity and flexes and there were a few times I had to take the dang things back out and remove the shrouds and do some more cuttin'. I also reccomend that if You got a air compressor and a die grinder to use it instead of a dremmel, much faster
Temps are 43 C at idle now I will come back and report what they are in game. Hope this helps somebody decide if they wanna do this or not
Later On Dudes!"

Then went back and made another remark

Okay I did some COD4 gamin and I was supprised to see that the temps are what I thought relatively low GPU 0 was at 53 and GPU 1 was at 47 after about 30 minutes of gameplay, sound good to You? It does to Me I know that much
I decided to run a Lil' steel fan that I have on the cards to see what if and while gaming it came down to 49 GPU 0 and 46 GPU 1
I think the top 1 runs a lil warmer cause of the creative X-Fi card being directly under it, with a setup like mine You will lose a pci slot
I have:
Asus Extreme Striker
Q6600 GO stepping
4GB Corsiar Dominator PC2-8500 1066 MHz running at 800 MHz
2 8800 GT running SLi mode"
