Copper heatsink with silver core DIYS

[FUGGER]

Mod for video card ram

Im buying .42 cent copper end caps from home depot (plumbing section) and filling it with 20 grams of silver approx 1/4" deep.

I bench grind off the bottom and polish it perfectly smooth and flat.

I have reached memory speeds over 800Mhz without artifacts. I will post pics of my silly looking card tonight.

How did you POSSIBLY get the memory from 650 to 800??? That is like...such a mind blowing overclock...dear god, you must be killing the memory. What ns is it? It has to be some kind of special batch...water or air cooling? 800mhz memory....that is serious overkill to be playing Quake3 (or any game for that matter) at several hundred FPS.

yeah, but imagine it...playing q3 at several hundred fps!
it would be smooth...

Here is a pic of my <A HREF="http://fugger.netfirms.com/gainward.jpg" target="_new">Gainward GF4</A> after bells are installed. The machine is a P4T-E with a 2.0a and CPU Volcano 7+.

I need to upload pics of my visiontek.

I have reached 350/810 so far. I will volt mod the GPU tonight.

Here is my current score, <A HREF="http://service.madonion.com/compare?2k1=3101149" target="_new">14k club</A>

Wow...14k in 3D Mark...I don't care if people say that 3D mark isn't important or accurate, it sure is fun bragging about having 14,000 3D Marks!!!

Wow! 14K is so high, it's mind boggling! Ahh, if only there were games that could take advantage of that extreme performance.

Aquanox Even though the game kinda sucks, it would be cool to play at 1600x1200@32bits with 4x Anti-aliasing with double vertex and pixel shaders...oh gods i'm getting high just thinking about how detailed that game really is :O
