Default My GTX 295 Air Colling Attempt...

[I wanted to air cool my overclocked GTX295 better so this is what I came up with and it actually works. I based this on the heat transfer principal of the optional evga backplate. EVGA claims to have a 20c pull down but in real world applications and searching the web is more like 10c.

The price of the backplate ranges from $20 & $25...If the backplate is based on heat transfer from the hot components to the thermal pad then gets to the backplate. Then I think I can do something similar using a HSF from Ultra which is around $30 when I got it and that I planned to used on my 9600GT, but never got to it because I upgraded to x58 i7 platform.

Pix # 1 = My before temps with COD5 for 30 min

Pix # 2 = Mounted the HS with thermal pads and thermal tape.

Wow so you have an entire GPU heatsink installed on the back of your 295? That's sick. Those are some good temp decreases too. Rep+

It's not even for any GTX 200 series. It's the GT9800 and below. It's a mod not a aftermarket cooler specific to a card.

Nice work When I had my BFG GTX 295, I bought the eVGA backplate, and got those same temps almost. I would never go above 69c in any game.
