Hey y'all im new to this forum and was just wonderin' if any of u lovely people out there had any infoZ on my problem... heres the dillio:

I have a shuttle (SB65G2 i think) and as stated im using a NVIDIA GeForce 6200 512MB DDR TV DVI w/ heatsink (discontinued).

Code:

This isnt a bad budget card but as always o/c it and it gets better. At the moment im running it at 420MHz Core/535MHz Memory when gaming but obviously the heat sink get extremerl hot (dangerously so?). For a while now iv been running my Shuttle with the case of and i was just wondering the best way to cool this bad boy down a little.. should i go old sko0l and stick a usb fan etc in the direction of the GPU or is there anything that would fit onto the heatsink (and is removable again afterwards) that will cool it down. At the moment the heatsink is very close to the edge of the case and so this is why i have to case off.

Thankyou for the time you waisted reading this post and all comments are welcome.. even abuse

i had the same prob;em with my x1300 from his altrought the heat-pipe system was good the card got extrmely hot so i think you should do what i did.. and that's put a big cooler on the gpu side of the card it should run pretty fine i mean in my case i cand use clocks like 650Mhz gpu/1100mem with no artefacts (from an original of 600 /800)... and by big cooler i mean : http://userphotos.hi5.com/0002/952/4...w952461-02.jpg someting like this

Hey nice one man... thanx for the reply.. i take it one of these should fit onto various sizes of heatsink ok. Also, are they removable easily or is it that once they're on, they're on? Thanx again..
