One problem I had to overcome with this
project is that the TNT 2 chipset sits lower than the memory chips. This
required that I put a spacer in between the TNT chip and the heatsink. I begin
by putting some double sided thermal tape on the TNT2 chipset itself. My buddy
Kyle over at
HardOCP likes to call them frag tape®. It works really good and sticks very
well.
Peel off the thermal tape, apply it to the
chip then peel off the second side and the above is what you end up with.
The spacer used to bridge the gap between the
chip and heatsink came from the remains of an AMK overclockers case. AMK cases
comes with those nice blow holes. When AMK cut those blow holes, they leave nice
pieces of metal which I cut up to make this spacer.
