I just got bored and thought I'd put my HD3870 back in the loop. I had read that the Maze4 and Maze5 had the same mounting patern, so I decided to give it a try.
Just thought I'd take a few pictures of the handywork , and basically inform those who own these HD3870's not to break the bank, and hunt down some older Maze4's to cool your cards!
The core in all her nekidness
The core side of the PCB for those who dont want to take off their coolers.
The Danger Den install video calls this the Nvidia backerplate.
The Maze4 installed ....good clearance as well, about a 1/2" from barbs to RAM sink.
My Visiontek in its original glory.
Lastly the rewards from just about an hour or two's worth of effort. Card Idles at 35*c and adds only 2*c to my CPU in the same loop.
