cooling grahics

what is the best way of cooling my readion 9800 pro. note im on a buget and dont have much modding skill.

On a budget you say....hmmm....OK, I'd go get yourself a big chunk of dry ice and stick it directly on the GPU. You'll have to check it often and it won't last more than a few minutes but it will be really cold for that time. You should probably cut it into rectangular rods the size of your GPU and rig up a stand so that as the dry ice sublimates, it will keep the rest of the rod on top of the GPU.

[ack ack]

open up your case and aim a fan directly at it.

LoL, that's original :p ! Yeah, other than getting an NV Silencer, you could get a tube of Artic Silver and apply that to the bottom of the heatsink. And keep the stock HSF clean of dust and stuff

lol. wasn't being mean intentionally. but if your desparate and have no budget, it works. specially if you accidentally spill a liter of soda on it, the fan helps dry out your components before you turn the machine on.

Would this thing work real well or is it just a stupid itea.

thats ok, but it would be better to get a cooler directly on the card. Zalman has a couple of good vga coolers.
