Heh...yeah. They have to be made befor 1982 tho so that you get more insulation...pretty cool i thought tho. You need a total of 40 I think...we all got that right? haha...I wonder how it works on the Ti4600...as it was only tested on a GeForce 2...

That is nice, but as I mentioned earlier, you were not here when this was NetSmog. BEFORE Techware Labs, there was Net Smog....sooo, that would conclude that afrotech mods was brought by someone from Net Smog....which was Techware Labs in the making. Therefore, you do not posses the first post of www.afrotechmods.com

ROFL... that is the most ghetto VC mod I have ever seen :o

Almost kinda clever, but too bad they didn't put any effort into doing it right, monitoring speeds, etc. We don't even know if it had any effect? And did he just glu the pennies on the RAM chips without lapping them? I would almost think that would cause worse heat transfer with such a bumpy face.

Pretty cool article, kinda clever, but it's too bad it was kind of a slack-job. IMO you're better off cutting up a heatsink off an old 486 mobo or something. It's still dirt cheap, it'll prob work better, and it wouldn't look so awfully ugly either lol :rolleyes:
