8800GTX Extreme mod to the stock cooler
I am currently in the gluing process. But here are some starter pics. Main goal is to increase air flow dramatically. Idle = 58C load = 80-83C. I am replacing the stock fan to a 90MM.
__________________Mainly to see if I can get a load under 75 so I can Vmod the Vcore. Card is currently flashed at 621Core and 1000? memory?   Lets hope it doesn't suck

Hold on a sec... I'm hearing something strange... oh weird, my 8800GTX's both just made a cringing sound. Odd.
BRB Had to console them a bit. Let them know that everything will be alright. They're getting old (and a little senile.)  J/K man. Looks like an interesting mod. Keep us informed on your progress and results!  Quote:

Hellspawn or Hell's Pawn?

You'd probably get better temps with the fan on top of the heatsink instead of beside it. But this is more original.

Also, I think his way saves a bit more space

I wanted to do something like this a while back, except for the fact that one of those retardedly tiny screws securing the plastic shroud to the card has a stripped head, and I cant get it out

Well i'll upload pictures in a few. On 100% you can't even hear it compared to the stock fan. Highest temperature was 78C and I got the first load wrong it was 85C. Idle's are still the same. Still alot quieter though so I like it.

Well I straight up uploaded a 8800GTX Ultra bios to the card. So now its an 8800GTX Ultra, and along with that flash it changes the Vcore to 1.35, not 1.3. So now the highest I hit was 85C. I think it was worth it. XD
