Well, the modding bug has bit me again. I knew it wouldn't be long!
I'm getting sick of the high temperatures on my 8800gts 640mb.. At the moment with 100% fan it will reach a load temp of 68c @ 675mhz core, which isn't too bad I suppose, but I'm also planning to volt-mod it and bring teh vgpu up to at least 1.5v, hopefully yeilding ~750mhz with better cooling.
So, when I get paid i'll be ordering a ThermalRight HR-03 GT, and removing the IHS. They did it on a dead card over at VR-zone, looks simple enough to do since the core isn't glued or anything. I'll just have to be carefull with all the tiny surface mounted caps/resistors so close to the edge.

Hopefully i can do a nice lapping job of the cooler first, but i'm not sure where to get any really fine sandpaper, up to 1500 grit +. Any ideas?
Is anyone else here running a naked G80? I'd like to hear how much of an improvement it made.
Cheers, Simon
