Look at some modifications I had to do to get the cards cool after overclocking them... Before the mods the core & memory on both cards was pushing over 50C. Geforce2 Ultra Default speed = 250MHz core, 460MHz DDR memory Overclocked = 320MHz core, 520MHz DDR memory ftp://speedycpu.dyndns.org/pub/overclockstuff/pics/gf2ultra/gf2u-1.jpg ftp://speedycpu.dyndns.org/pub/overclockstuff/pics/gf2ultra/gf2u-2.jpg ftp://speedycpu.dyndns.org/pub/overclockstuff/pics/gf2ultra/gf2u-3.jpg ftp://speedycpu.dyndns.org/pub/overclockstuff/pics/gf2ultra/gf2u-4.jpg ftp://speedycpu.dyndns.org/pub/overclockstuff/pics/gf2ultra/gf2u-5.jpg Geforce3 Default speed = 200MHz core, 460MHz DDR memory Overclocked = 270MHz core, 600MHz DDR memory ftp://speedycpu.dyndns.org/pub/overclockstuff/pics/gf3/gf3-mod1.jpg ftp://speedycpu.dyndns.org/pub/overclockstuff/pics/gf3/gf3-mod2jpg ftp://speedycpu.dyndns.org/pub/overclockstuff/pics/gf3/gf3-mod3jpg Even with all this they both still run kinda warm..
