MSI 8800GT OC

I bought one second hand 8800GT recently, for folding purpose.
If you don't know what is folding.... refer to Here

Let's have a look at it.


The box


The card itself.


The "Geforce" wording on the panel which I like the most. Isn't it cool ? :D


Since the card was about 2 and half years ++ old, the Idle temperature that I tested was 73degree celcius...Holy cow that is a ridiculous value. When I was about to run it with folding to see the temperature it goes to 93C and keep adding, so after half minute of run I close it immediately.

I decided to strip old the heat sink fan, and clean the old thermal compound. Have a look again.


Before


After using an alcohol-like fluid to clean, provided by Liew 2 years ago :D.


I just love the simple chip.


The whole PCB itself.

Well, I'm gonna wait my 3rd party vga cooler to come today. Hopefully it will arrive and I can continue to do my job, and write a simple review here.

*The mediocore heat sink stock fan will be ripped off and replace with this lousy CoolerMaster :x 120mm 70cfm :x Fan.
