i have a leadtek winfast geforce 3 and yesterday i successfully overclocked it to 251/500 and got a score of 7126 from 6598 in 3d mark 2001. The only problem is that i'm scared to damage the card this way. I was wondering if there is any way to add an extra fan on top of the existing one on the gpu or facilitate some other means of cooling. Please give some suggestions, all i have come up wiht is one of those pci slot fans but it won't fit in the space between my video card and the next pci card.......oh and is being able to oc to that frequency normal, it seems that everywhere i read about this card that people have oced it to 230 successfully, so how didi get it to 251? Well when i put it to 264 my 3d mark froze and when it was at 300 it froze while changing, it's now back at default clock speeds and is running fine.

Remove the current Video hsf and replace it with a Blue Orb.

a cheap & easy way is to fit a pci slot cooler under the card (in pci slot 1)which takes the heat straight off the heatsinks & out of the pc
been running my elsa 920 @ 245/530 for 3 weeks now with no probs
