Popped the IHS on a 8800 GTS that is not Dead, wish me luck.

On a side note, is this the first GPU nVidia has produced that has an IHS (not counting any really really old passively cooled cards that might have had them)?

My old FX 5600ultra and 5700ultra had one.

I had a suspiscion that the high end FX's may have had IHS'd GPU's. Thx for that.

The 5700ultra was one of the high ends, but my 5600ultra was the first FX released i believe. It sucked ass compared to a 9700pro hehe. Im glad i didnt pay for it. Pass me downs are cool in the PC world.

Nice job there mate. The caps look extremely close to the epoxy - must have been a few sweaty brow moments there

Good stuff, Phelan, I always appreciate the dude (or dudette) that experiments and passes his knowledge on to others.
