  • whats the point of cutting that cooler ?

  • To be able to use other coolers for higher overclocks.

  • 1. It is a GTX280 cooler. Get a card, take it apart and you will see.

    2. We do this because we need the inner most part of the cooler to cool the digital PWM of the card when we cool it with liquid nitrogen.

  • It is a GTX280 cooler. We cut it apart because we needed a heatsink for the the digital PWM ICs in the power reg when we were cooling the cards with liquid nitrogen.

  • i like your thinking bro

  • why not just get a complete after market cooler? like the ZeroTherm 2000 or something.

  • wow......just...wow....tear...­.

  • Cool !!

  • As he would be using a CPU pot for the core, He uses the cut section to cool the rest of the VRM

  • Wth...

  • how dare u

  • Still amazed how much people spend to play 1 very very average game, GFX are great but gameplay meh.

    And it plays fine on high with a single GTX280.

    Not sure what the point of this video is.

  • I actually can taste the metal in my mouth! Because my braces taste like copper sometimes.
