Hi Community.
Few days ago I install a GIGABYTE X1650 card, this card has a passive cooling (heatsink)....a MASSIVE heatsink, almost the entire card is covered with it, since my system reaches 57 celsius and my CPU 52 celsius (when gaming, normal use reaches 45/45 aprox.)
To maintain the card more cooler I decide to install a 60mm fan on the card, since the heatsink is to huge I cant find a correct place to attach the fan, so I decide to install it on the backside of the card where the VPU chipset resides.
The airflow seems to be helping with the cooling, but I cannot say it for sure since this card hasnt a temp. reading chip (I HATE that, why ATi/Nvidia doesnt include this chip on all its cards....it is SO expensive?).
My question is if the location of the fan is correct........oh, and I decide to install it 'cause I run a few games and I oveclocked the card, I still dont suffer any problem with the OC, I did it just in case...
Thanx.
