a lil Cooling mod @7900GX2 Card - 2006/11/25 01:03
Hey ,
i´ve done a lil cooling mod with the stock aircooler at the 7900gx2 , not much , only put CoolLaboratory´s liquid metal pro at the gpu and look , i can go 15mhz higher as before without artifacts ( i know , not much , but for that little work and that cheap method its good enough )
before max clock withhout artifacts 575core , now 590 ..
at the bga rams , i can´t put those , too much space between bga´s and the cooler so i let the stock thermal pads on those bgas , next week i think i finish my watercooler for the gx2 at work and then i will try again ,
tomorrow i will try to raise the voltage a bit and look how high i can go then with the gpu clock , but before
1. use CoolLaboratory´s Liquid Pro or Metal Pads for this "Mod" or use CuSil if you have it ( its more expensive and dangerous as LiquidPro , but much better )
2. don´t do this if you not know what you do
3. don´t do this if you not crazy enough to do this
4. don´t do this if you haven´t enough money to buy a new card if something goes wrong with that mode
now , look at the pictures , i know , i´m too crazy for this 
i rebuild my old system for this test coz i tested the card before with this sys , so i would test it again to see what it brings again with that sys
here are the photos

gpu with a thin layer of liquid metal pro ( you can use the pads , easier , or use CuSil , a lot better WmK as Liquid Metal )
