Modding my old EVGA GeForce 8800 GT video card's fan to blow heatfrom the PC case?
Hi.
I have an old EVGA GeForce 8800 GT video card's fan in a brand new Antec Sonata Proto mid tower ATX case with two case 120mm case fans, MSI P43 NEO3-F (MSI-7514) motherboard, etc. See http://zimage.com/~ant/antfarm/about/computers.txt for the details for this secondary computer. Also, hardwares were cleaned last night from its dust pileups after about two years of usage. I noticed this video card's fan goes to maximum speed (4,000 RPM) even when my computer is idling. I think its air flow is not good in this new case. I know my old MSI ATI Radeon 4870 video card (512 MB) blows its hot air in the rear, but this NVIDIA card doesn't. Is there a way to mod its cooler to blow out heat? FYI for my system's sensors: $ sensors -f coretemp-isa-0000 Adapter: ISA adapter Core 0: +129.2°F (high = +176.0°F, crit = +212.0°F) coretemp-isa-0001 Adapter: ISA adapter Core 1: +125.6°F (high = +176.0°F, crit = +212.0°F) coretemp-isa-0002 Adapter: ISA adapter Core 2: +125.6°F (high = +176.0°F, crit = +212.0°F) coretemp-isa-0003 Adapter: ISA adapter Core 3: +132.8°F (high = +176.0°F, crit = +212.0°F) f71882fg-isa-0a00 Adapter: ISA adapter +3.3V: +3.30 V in1: +1.14 V (max = +2.04 V) in2: +0.86 V in3: +0.94 V in4: +1.10 V in5: +0.89 V in6: +0.72 V 3VSB: +3.31 V Vbat: +3.22 V fan1: 1138 RPM fan2: 1075 RPM fan3: 0 RPM ALARM fan4: 0 RPM ALARM temp1: +89.6°F (high = +185.0°F, hyst = +177.8°F) (crit = +122.0°F, hyst = +114.8°F) sensor = transistor temp2: +98.6°F (high = +185.0°F, hyst = +177.8°F) (crit = +212.0°F, hyst = +204.8°F) sensor = transistor temp3: FAULT (high = +158.0°F, hyst = +154.4°F) (crit = +185.0°F, hyst = +181.4°F) sensor = transistor adt7473-i2c-4-2e Adapter: NVIDIA i2c adapter in1: +2.99 V (min = +0.00 V, max = +2.99 V) +3.3V: +3.25 V (min = +0.00 V, max = +4.38 V) fan1: 3121 RPM (min = 0 RPM) fan2: 0 RPM (min = 0 RPM) fan3: 0 RPM (min = 164 RPM) ALARM fan4: 0 RPM (min = 0 RPM) temp1: +152.6°F (low = +149.0°F, high = +185.0°F) ALARM Board Temp: +136.4°F (low = +68.0°F, high = +140.0°F) temp3: +152.6°F (low = +176.0°F, high = +221.0°F) ALARM Thank you in advance. -- "Since the world began, we have never exterminated.

I didn't look very hard, but for air, I didn't immediately see anything that looked useful. They made "slot coolers" in the past, as a means of moving a cloud of warm air from the area around a card. But this too is a relatively dumb idea, due to the noise. http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/p...1 63088460813 That leaves perhaps a water block, and a pump/reservoir/radiator kit that sits outside the PC, as a means to move the heat outside. It all depends on whether newer cards and the 8800GT, share mounting points and chip height, as to whether a water block of appropriate design is available now. Specialty parts, you wouldn't expect any small retailers to stock a lot of them. You can still use some cooling for the surface of the card, once the water block is in place, to help the regulator stuff, or the RAM chips. Simple fans would do for that. It would only call for RAM sinks, if there were obstructions in the way, and you were having problems getting a decent air velocity. The problem with fans, is finding a means to hang them inside the case. When cooling a card surface, I use an aluminum strip from the hardware store, drill a single hole in the end, and put a PCI slot screw through the hole, to allow the strip to be bolted to the slot retainer area. Then, a single lightweight fan, can be fastened to the strip with nylon ties. Maybe an 80mm for example. If there is too much weight, you'd need to extend the length of the strip, and find a means to bolt down the other end of it. Paul |
