Fan Sandwich

[Schmide]

I’m working with a Vapochill. So I don’t have a HSF; however, the motherboard still needs to have a fan plugged in to operate. So I have this extra 40mm fan in the case not attached to anything. So I decide to rest it on the back of the video card. It took 5c off the chip and 7c off the ram. I have good ventilation 80mm intake and a squirrel cage exhaust, but this was effortless. Now I just have to find a way to securely attach this fan to the back of the video card.

I know the card is now outdated but on the gigabyte site they used to show how to front and rear mount fans on TNT2 pro cards. gave temp figures for hs, hs/fan, and hs/fan/rear hs configurations. Adding the rear (static) hs dropped GPU temp by an extra 14 degrees .
