Hi guys,
Apologies if there's already a similar thread but I did a search and couldn't find anything here.
So, I managed to get a good deal on an Xp over the Christmas and after trying a bit of overclocking I got it to around 2100mhz stable on the stock blower. Happy with that but boy is it loud and hot.
So basically I want to do this, but with whatever cheap cooler I can find to do the job:
Most googling I've done on this has everyone using that EVGA hybrid kit. Unfortunately I don't have the luxury of a bespoke cooler like them, but I figure I can find something out there to do the job. I was thinking maybe a similar style round block cooler to fit in the gap. And as far as brackets and such go, I work in fabrication plus I own several 3D printers, so fixings shouldn't be a problem.
I guess I was just wondering has anyone else here attempted this with their own Xp/1080/70, and if so, how did you get on? If not then I guess I'll figure it out as I go and hopefully post my progress here.
