I just managed to install an nVidia GPU cooler on an Ati card :P

The fan of my trusty 9600 Pro was way too loud, so I grabbed myself a GeForce FX 5200, cut a piece of that cooler off and install it on my 9600 Pro :D Turns out they have exactly the same distance between the push pins :D

That's pretty neat! Guess that means they were manufactured within the same company

The woes of not waiting to buy a GPU when new releases hit soon.

Well is it any colder? or is it still running at 360c?

Unfortunately for me-the cooler that I really wanted to put on my Geforce FX5500 (its an aftermarket cooler from an older Ati card) can't actually be cut down to fit....so I had to make do with a cheap fan+heatink of Ebay that just needed a bit of a trim to fit properly.

I've got a few problems that stop me from using CRT monitors again. My LCD monitor from 2002-2004 has a higher refresh rate, better image quality, none of the flickering and very similar colour reproduction. And it takes up less space, has more inputs and doubles up as a TV (It was kind of a big deal for me back then-and it saw me through until the start of 2014, when 1024x768 just wasn't enough to do any meaningful form of multi tasking).
