ok, so i have an ati x800gto saphire gpu
awhile ago i had the brilliant plan or replacing the stock crappy little fan with an 80mm case fan so i:
1. removed heatsink and replaced thermal paste with arctic silver 5, ditched the original dinky little fan
2. superglued an 80mm case fan on it, blowing onto the heatsink (that would be up)
3. connected said fan to fan controller on front and crank it up when playing games
however, this doesn't work; it's quieter, but it's not blowing the air through the heatsink the right way (in the middle, out the sides)
so, i need a solution, and a cheap one at that; any thoughts? i'm drawing a blank here, and i really don't want to use a small fan cuz they are loud......
