Hmm.. for some reason I do not have permission to post new messages in this forums, but polls are fine.  I need to cool my video card (gf2mx) so i can pump out a little more juice before i trash it. I can't afford water cooling right now, so I just want opinions on what fan I should get, perferrably not too loud but really quick.
thanks.

you could always buy a small block of dry ice, put it in a freezer bag, and put it inside your case...that'll cool things down a bit.

great idea.
only hitch is that condensation will drip off the bag into the components and **kablammo** computer work no longer

Sir? May I recommend I load myself into the reverse-thrust tubes and you use my body as decoy-fodder? This will, of course leave me splattered across deep space and unable to complete today's laundry, for which I apologise in advance.

I hate to even imagine the hassle that mounting a water cooler on a video card would pose...
Geforce heatsinks come off pretty easily. Just rip it off, replace it with a better one, and stick a powerful fan on top. For even more cooling, throw a slot fan in the PCI slot ajacent to the AGP. Pretty standard techniques.

you know i accepted your post in peace* but now that i think about it, dry ice has no condensation (atleast i have never seen it give off condensation.) it's just really cold.

dry ice is carbon, it goes straight from solid to gaseous form.

sublimation. I knew this psychical science class would come in handy sooner or later...
there can be some condinsation, though. not directly from the dry ice, but from the metals and/or cards around it. The likely hood isn't terrrrriibbbllly high, though
