TNT2

[johnlui]

Hi Everyone,

I own a Nvidia TNT2 with a chipset fan on it (yes, I will upgrade at the end of the year). I like to know if it is safe to remove the fan and just have the heatsink on. I want to do this because it's really noisey. Will it fry the video card? And subsequently damage the motherboard?

Thanks in advance

Yeah, you can remove the fan on TNT2. I would not reccomend it, but it is safe. I had a TNT2 without a fan and it worked fine.

just get a bigger heatsink if your not sure, and use thermal adhesive to glue it on.

Wow old card,but a good one though! I had that same card and problem,what I did was take the original fan off.I had an old 486 heat sink fan it was the exact size just a little taller glued it to the four pins that remain when u take the old one off. It worked great for as long as I had that card.
