My "Homemade" SLI cooler

I think it looks crap. The photographer needs shooting. I us an alluminium case and have taken shots that can look just as bad and others that make it look nice.

I refuse to give into the temp bug even if there is one. So I took the problem into my own hands for really cheap and dropped a nice 5c on both GPU's.

2 x Thermaltake 120mm fans.

1 x Sticky tape

1 x plastic base thing I found around the house.

GPU Temps BEFORE:
Idle
GPU-1 - 75c
GPU-2 - 69c
--------------
Load
GPU-1 - 85c
GPU-2 - 78c

GPU Temps After:
Idle
GPU-1 - 70c
GPU-2 - 66c
--------------
Load
GPU-1 - 79c
GPU-2 - 74c
--------------
Walla !!

overclocking a GT6800 for what?
playing counterstrike with 800FPS ?
but, i did that earlier , too
i mean, 1 big fan for some components
but the prob is dust if the case is open, so watercooling is the thing i´ll never miss again
