I think the slims are for mounting to a hard drive.

Those are much, much better but still pricey.. I'd attempt to find them cheaper but still a good reference.

So are these slims for air cooling or a rad? What's the reasoning behind a slim? Also you'll have a better selection in 90 & 80mm fans.

Slim fans for fitting on a bracket for the GPU so that the fan doesn't extend into a third slot. If you know of a better slim fan that'll fit on one of dwood's brackets without taking up another two slots, feel free to suggest one rather than just arguing

DWOOD, hate to bother you bro, Just wanted to check on the status of my HD 6870 bracket. I ordered mine on the 9th. Has this been shipped or shipping soon? I know you are a busy guy.

Thanks
Derrick

Why would you need a fan on the heat sink already in the gpu? Once you add a second gpu you won't have room to actually use that fan efficiently. The heat would blow on to the PCB of the next gpu. Why would you add a fan onto a heat sink with a fan?

The same idea would apply to using a non water cooling solution on a dual GPU setup, yet people do that all the time and it works great.
What's your point?

I need to figure out how to install this bracket. I feel so stupid. Then again, it's 1:30 AM

Don't do computer work at 1:30. Seriously, the chance of you doing something horribly wrong goes up exponentially as you get past 12:30.

I work third shift so I'm up until 7AM every day. I just exponentially lose intelligence as time approaches my bed time.

EDIT
Just an update:
This is infuriating and no fun.
Why does AMD design their cards in such a difficult way.
I even considered for a split second selling this 6950 and getting an nVidia GPU just so that I wouldn't have to deal with this.

If you have the money get a better gpu. A twin frozr or double d great; stock cooling.

Ok, let's step through this very carefully.

From the second post:

dwood's bracket.

Then go to post 1255 in this thread. Someone is trying to fit a dwood bracket + VRM fan on a GTX 670 (680 PCB) in a BitFenix Prodigy, which is a Micro-ITX case with two expansion slots pretty close to the side panel (post 1262) - although the side panel is ventilated. They want to be able to close said case. Thus they have 2, and exactly 2 slots to work with, and no worry about anything else being pushed up against the card. They also won't have the original heatsink on the card (as a good % of the point of this thread is replacing the GPU heatsink/fan with a sealed watercooling unit, which leaves you to worry about the VRMs, which is what the Scythe fan is suggested for).

So dwood suggests the slim Scythe fan in post 1265. This is the one you started poo-pooing (post 1276), presumably without reading any of the comments leading up to the suggestion of it.

So, for summary:

GTX 670
Bitfenix Prodigy
2 slots total
dwood bracket
slim fan, of which the Scythe is a good choice (perhaps the only choice in slim ones, at least in larger sizes, although I know of a 20mm Yate Loon 120mm one too).

Sorry for the thread hijack. The Scythe fan is a good choice for this application, as it would likely keep the card to only 2 slots in size, and thus let a dwood-bracket-modded card fit in the Bitfenix Prodigy while still having active VRM cooling from a fan.
