Question About Cooling Radeon LE

[RogueStyles]

I just bought a Thermaltake Blue Orb and a Radeon LE for overclocking purposes and I wanted to know whether I should epoxy it onto the existing heatsink or take the existing heatsink off and epoxy it directly onto the GPU. Which would be better at cooling?

Take the existing heatsink off....the stuff between the heatsink and the GPU is really thick and you'd get much better cooling if you stuck the blueorb on the GPU instead of screwing it on top of the existing one.

screwing a second headsink onto an existing one is a BIG NO NO. It doesn't help at all! (and if it did, it'd be so minimal). Just take off the original and stick the blue orb on.

make sure you check the blorb for flatness on the base. most everyone that has one has had to lap the base flat. mine was very convex.

Thanks for the info guys.
