Ok I just bought a Thermalright HR-03 GT
I removed the stock HSF on my reference 8600gts, removed thermal pad stuff and used arcticlean 1+2 following website instructions to the letter, then applied arctic silver 5.
Fitted the heatsink and checked my temps when running 4d apps and am still getting temps of 80c (didn't let it get any higher because it didn't on stock).
I am worried about this because:
1) This is supposed to be able to run passively (safely)
2) I can't plug in the 92mm fan onto my gfx card fan socket and there are no compatible/free fan sockets on my BTX (damn you dell) mobo.
Any suggestions?
And is there any way I can put the wires into a molex plug from my PSU?
