Cooling my GTX!

My 8800 was idling at ~70 and when in game i was hitting +85C! So i decided to take the thing apart and apply some decent paste on the chip…heres a few pics:

Heres the GTX with the heatsink exposed…

Heatsinks off now, look at the horrible NVidia grey crap…

Here we are all cleaned up and ready for putting back together…

So the results….

Idle: Before ~70C After 62C
Load: Before ~85C After 79C

Not really a huge difference, but at least i know how to get the thing apart for when i get one of these monsters this weekend! :p
