question about silencing video card
Posted: Sun Jun 22, 2014 5:17 pm
I use a Matrox Millennium card. In the past, I removed it's small
noisy fan and used a Thermaltake Schooner heatsink which worked
fine.
I had to do some troubleshooting and needed to temporarily remove
the video card. In the process the Schooner was damaged beyond
repair.
My question is: can the video card's tiny, noisy fan be substituted by
using a larger Nexus fan running at a slower speed, mounted over the
same part of the card where the original fan was, or is there a risk
that it will not cool the video card enough?
