why wala man?

[teH_tHirD]

giusa ang heatsink sa gpu, hsi, og ddr3's.

so nangita ko og pci slot fan, pero reversible ba siya nga mosulod ang hangin instead of blowing air padung gawas with this?:

ah it came with the design. it might help to reduce the heat.

Naa nang PCI slot cooler bro sa FastWin. Ok ra man if it sucks air, coz it would suck out the heat from your vidcard.

Nweiz here's a another Palit 6600GT w/ PCCooler SVC-705CU VGA Cooler http://www.pccooler.com/

@emoners: that's a pci-e card. i have an AGP kind. the problem with the agp version is that there is a HSI chip that converts the supposedly pci-e card to agp, and aftermarket heatsinks only cover the gpu chip, not the HSI.

wouldn't it be better to have a fan blow AT the card instead of sucking from it?

if the company designed the HSI to have no fan, then maybe it is supposed to work without a fan...

this could be due to dust and dirt?

[teH_tHirD]

the fan is spinning fine. first thing i did when i opened it is clean off the dust off the heatsink and fan. i did NOT take the heatsink off!

other retailers had different heatsinks for gpu(has a fan too) and hsi. palit unfortunately did not follow the supposed reference design by nvidia, maybe as a way to make their card cheaper.


naa bay arctic silver sa cebu?? solution nalang jud nga mahuna nako kay slot fan cooler + remount w/ as5. ngano lisora man gud mangita og aftermarket heatsink ani oi!!!

EDIT:

you know what? i decided to make a homemade 'pci fan'. i got inspiration from this:
