Just come back here in literally years having gleaned ALL my silencing knowledge from THIS site. Came back to see what's what in the 120mm fan world only to see this thread
I'm sorry to see things end.

I would class myself as a very serious gamer (up till 330 m playing then off to work for 9 am :roll: ; admining a cs server and always on the pc on games). Like everything in life, it's a compromise. Silence/gfx quality. Having heard the benefits of silence on my modded oc'd rig, I am going 60/40 si...

Just a thought... but if you're going to twist the metal out of shape for better airflow, you might as well just cut out the intake vent "bars" with a tin snip tool to get maximum airflow. I've thought about doing it myself, but figured I'd rather not risk voiding the 3 year warranty. Bye the way.....

A couple of points: No geforce4 card will fry itself if it gets too hot. It will lock up before it gets hot enough to do any damage to itself. The best test for VGA cooling is to run 3DMark03 in a loop for half an hour. If it gets through that without any artifacting or lockups then you're fine. co...
