not a bad idea

The memory heatsinks are made from a butchered Xeon heatsink attached with thermal epoxy. I put my bench mounted wire wheel to work to obtain the polish job.

I replaced the original green GPU heatsink with a Blue Orb, but pulled the Orb's original fan and replaced it with a fan from a Super Orb (both from Thermaltake).

Geforce 2 Overclocking, stable speed:

Before GPU: 275 Memory - 485
After GPU: 300 Memory - 500

from: overclockers.com

I bet you can get those heatsinks for cheap, if you find the right place to get them, or you can spend $30+ for those tweakmonster heatsinks with less performace.

That works out nice if your ram is all in a row, but my ram is scatered all over the board. I had to use individual sinks.

The larger fan tweak is nice. I never thought of it but you're right... they both have the same mounting holes in them. ~Easto thinking~

They do have a Thermaltake crystal orb which is so much better than the Blue Orb. Thats what I have on my GF3, but I need ramsinks.

I don't think you're gonna get much outta that gf2. I had the same one. Added a cpu hsf from a p200 and cut up a heatsink to fit the mem chips. Looked dam nice after the job i did. I tried to oc it but it was no use. damm card would'nt budge. I installed the coolbits tweak to oc the card but that did'nt work either.

Get a GF3, they're cheap now on newegg. ;)
