Well, if it works... sure.

 

@DEcobra11 needs to see dis.

 

Works better than stock cooler.

 

Was not going to throw a 80 dollar gpu to the trash.

 

Now its running on my backup rig.

I know, I've once strapped a fan to an AGP Radeon myself.

Any unknown button should be pressed even number of times.

I think you should put it little lower so that you have more fan blades surface over that heatsink. 

(because center of fan is not blowing air.

 

I did later , its not the more recent image but i lost the others.

no, if lower, there is less on the top, beacuse althjough the fan is square, it blows circle

you just won the internets

Nvidia is to Dr Dre Beets as AMD is to KFC.

One makes you broke, the other you can get more of and have a midnight snack from the fridge when hungry again. Once you go Nvidia, you go broked, turn into an Elitist, or get the incorrect amount of VRAM.

 I was only 9 years old. I loved Fifflaren so much, I had all the NiP merchandise and matches pirated. I prayed to Fifflaren every night before bed. Thanking him for the life I have been given. Fifflaren is love I say. Fifflaren is life. My dad hears and calls me a fuckhead. I knew he was just jelly of my passion for Fifflaren. I called him a Sw@yer. He hits me and sends me to go to sleep. I'm crying now, and my face hurts. I lay in bed and it's really cold. A warmth is moving towards me. I feel someone touching me. I feel someone touching me. It's Fifflaren. I am so happy. He whispers in my ear; "this is my pyjama". He grabs me with his powerful Swedish hands and puts me on my hands and knees. I'm ready. I spread my ass cheeks for Fifflaren. He penetrates my butt-hole. It hurts so much but I do it for Fifflaren. I can feel my butt tearing as my eyes start to water. I push against his force. I want to please Fifflaren. He roars a viking roar as he fills my butt with his love. My dad walks in. Fifflaren looks straight into his eyes and says; "He is a ninja now". Fifflaren is love, Fifflaren is life

Why not use an 80mm/92mm fan instead?

The fan didn't have the holes for screws nor the squarish thing... so how you suggest me to use zip ties :/?

 

Oh that sucks.

 

Mine had those hole thingies.
