At least you did not epoxy heatsinks to the ram and shape XEON Server Heatsink to the card.

what the fuck are you people talking about? This is OCAU!
what are the chances of killing a videocard anyways?!?. I knocked off a few components off a 9600 pro once, fixed it myself, still working to this day.

true that eggsplatter, thats why i posted on OCAU and not warrantyworries.com (ok be honest who tried going to that site?)

Thanks

Cheers

I wouldn't be worried about him killing it himself, nor any other capable overclocker. However, components die for no reason, Its a fact of life. What happens when you have a $750 card that dies after a month for no apparent reason... if you've modded the card and can't return it to stock there is your warranty goooone.

Darko:
Better looking than running without the face plate.
But I thought that was pretty clear in the sentence.

I am not saying this mod is for everyone but damn just doing my own thing and people get all fired up about it?
You know I posted this in other forums too and not 1 person critisized.
I guess that says somthing for the Aussie Overclocking Scene,
"Have a Go! but we'll ridicule ya for it" its called Mutual Respect people.
Anyways prolly see yas on other forums.

Cheers
Ben

Good to see you're enjoying, its called creativity and utilising your congnitive aspect of your intellect.
Let sleeping 'Dogs' lie.
