Re: Passive cooling on a Geforce2 GTS?

Posted on 2023-07-13, 22:13

I understand that a large part of a fan's effectiveness comes from the fact that there is an enclosing structure around the blades (that is as close to the fan blade edges as possible). So a fan that does not have an enclosure around it seems like it will lose performance. Not sure if it matters at …

Just an update, the little fan i ordered from ebay got returned to sender for some reason so i did this instead. Kept the Geforce4 mx heatsink on the card Took the fan off a 9400GT that i wasnt using. Cut the wires, then cut the wires off a random USB cable, and spliced them together. Attached the …

Problem is the slot for the fan power on the card is that little three pin thing. The ones from your photo won't work. When googling the fan part # i found a fan replacement but that's $40 with shipping and ill still have to use the original heatsink which is pretty crappy. Any other video cards …

I'd look for a cheap card with a large heatsink, preferrably higher TDP than the GTS and use that. Something like the FX5200 for example. https://c1.neweggimages.com/ProductImage/14-187-045-03.jpg https://c1.neweggimages.com/NeweggImage/ProductImage/14-170-024-08.jpg Edit. But pay attention to the …

But if the MX came with passive heating, why would the GeForce 2 need a fan? Isnt it practically the same card? Also the stock heatsink and fan of the GTS are really nothing special, the heatsink feels like it was made from plastic and the fan is tiny.

So the fan on my GF2 doesn't work. This is the card and the fan in question. https://i.imgur.com/q8rBFe2.jpg I took the heatsink off a Geforce4 MX 440 i had, and it fits perfectly on the GF2. This is the heatsink https://i.imgur.com/hUMX1hU.jpg I ran some games and benchmarks and the heatsink did …

GeForce2 MX vs Geforce4 MX440?

Posted on 2023-05-30, 00:34

So i was using a GF2MX on my Pentium 3 1ghz computer and swapped it with a passively cooled XFX MX440 64mb AGPx8 thinking it would be much better but i only went from 4800 to 5200 in 3Dmark2000. Gaming performance also looks about the same. Is that accurate performance of the MX440? I checked and it …

The biggest flaw is the blower wheel itself that Nvidia is using no matter what. Very poor pressure and CFM no matter how rpm is. Also fine pitch blades blowers out there depends on flow to maintain pressure but fine pitch also limits the CFM. And the heatsink itself impacts the CFM will require …

Now peaks at 81 instead of 91, and idles at 40 instead of 50. Installed a fan at the back of the case through the slots sucking air out. https://i.imgur.com/4s4F4sG.jpg Attached an old xeon heatsink to the card, just letting it hang freely from the card. https://i.imgur.com/LUARph3.jpg If i put …
