NV Silencer Problems?

I've not installed the new drivers yet which I need to, but considering the stock sink kept it cooler than the NV seems strange. Navid thanks for the advice, I am using AS5, but I didn't spread it on very thick, evenly, but not thick. Same type of coating as for my chipset, should it be...

NV Silencer Problems?

So I installed this the other day using Artic silver 5. Temps went from 38C idle to 63-68C idle, haven't tried it under load for good reason. Any idea's what the hell might be the problem? Is the fan supposed to push air with the back side of the "scoops"? Seemed kinda inefficient to me but...

Anyone lap their NVSilencer sink?

Just wondering who has done this and how they did it. I've been looking for write-ups on it but most are for a heatsink that you can get wet and really move around. Since this has to stay stationary I was wondering what others have done.

Low restriction fan filter?

I'm looking at the filterright aluminum filter. Has anyone used this before? I'd like to add a few filters to my case but would like to retain as much flow as possible. Any cheap and easy to shape material anyone has used to make their own?

Ram Sinks or Heat Spreaders?

I'm just wondering which is more efficient provided that I have adequate air flow across the ram. I would guess the sinks would cool better just because of their ability to disperse heat through the fins, where a spreader is smooth so it doesn't seem like much heat would transfer. Is there any...

6800 GPU Heatsink

I understand the thermal properties of heat in relation to movment but in this case I think it would vary since its not a stationary enviroment. Like you said, the natural movement is heat up cold down, but when forced, its a diff story. The goal being to "force" the cold air up to the card...

6800 GPU Heatsink

I obviously had better illustrate my idea. I'm going to isolate the bottome half of my case with a baffle (plastic air dam) so that the air from the intake fans on the front of the case is rounted upward toward the ram and chipset, while the bottom is totally closed off. I will add an intake...

6800 GPU Heatsink

It will have a 120mm 105cfm fan pointed at it with baffling to maximize airflow across the gpu. I'm not suggesting some crazy huge heat sink, just something more than evga's offering. I'll be using frozencpu monster ram sinks on the card ram and was just looking for something to mount on the...

Ram Sinks or Heat Spreaders?

Yes I am overclocking :) Between the GPU and CPU I'm trying to get as much out of the system as possible before I add my watercooling setup. So sinks then?

6800 GPU Heatsink

Since I'm setting up a custom fan/baffle arrangment, I'm looking for the biggest possible fanless heatsink (preferably copper) that will fit my card. So far this is the only compatible item that I've found. Will any regular cpu sinks work?

Ram Sinks or Heat Spreaders?

Newbie question here. I'm working on case air flow dynamics and am wondering which option is more efficient. I realize that the heat spreaders cover both sides of the ram but would ram-sinks do a better job of getting rid of the heat? I'm working on some baffles inside my case to run air...
