Hey guys. Well it took a while. But i got a few bucks together and got a used Asus GTX 780 to tide me over till the "1080" comes out.  I've overclocked it and its running a nice 1054 Mhz.

 

The used card had a broken fan though. It kept alternating between spinning and not spinning (only one of 2) And was making an annoying noise. Probobly damaged by the previous owner.

So i took them off (replaced thermal paste while i had the card apart), and installed 2 120mm fans with elastic bands to the heatsink, which looks rediculous, but actually keeps it under 55 degrees in games.

 

Pic of the keychain is whats remaining of my 980ti after I snapped it.

Welp. That's a one of a kind keychain.

so you handing out parts of a 980 ti for keychains? Because I'd want in on that

 

At least you got it together though, might have to do that fan thing to a friends 270X as it has one fan thats failing and gets really loud. And thats an interesting case. Im curious though, how heavy is that?

wow dude... this is awesome, if i were to get some cheap card for some reson i might actiually do this but with 2 of my favorite fans i have lying around, the one i call the turbine and the one i call the GIANT, the GIANT is a 210mm fan that spins like crazy and the turbine is a 120mm that just produces amazing static pressure(its also almost 4cm thick ) lol

Bananasplit - You could use just about anything, I've used a desk fan before, just get some air moving haha.

 

Suchamoneypit - Its heavy as shit, why do you think I added handles on top;) Its pretty much indestructable though.
