As many of you know, I bought a GeForce 6600 recently to replace a beaten-up Geforce III. This was causing the PC to overheat during gaming such as playing the Undermountain mod. despite the many fans that I have for intake and output. This prompted me to make two purchases. I first bought a specialty fan, a StarTech PC expansion slot video card cooling fan. It sits under my video card, right under the card's own fan and sucks all the air off of it and blows it out the back. The second thing I bought was a syringe of Arctic Silver 5. I have not yet applied this to my processor and card, because I want to see how well the fan is doing on its own.
This was the cheapest way for me to improve cooling to my system ($20), as I am not looking to keep this build much longer. I just needed it to go a little longer and let me have about 6 more months of good operation.
