    Antec Spotcool?

    Hi all,

    Can anyone tell me whether or not this is a good product:

    Antec.com - Cooling

    I probly use it to cool down my gpu as when its under load it can read up to 70c. This is when i have increased the fan speed to 70% which is rather loud but i can just about tolerate it.

    Thanks

    I'd probably do a DIY job with tape on blu tac and a 1nice 92/120mm fan It's not bad for what you need though. There is a zalman bracket which you can mount fans on here
    Computer hardware and software at amazing prices, available online from Scan Computers UK

    Might be useful.

    yep, the blu tack thing would be ok if u can mount it somewhere safely n securely i have stuck a extra 80mm fan in my case like that but if u can get a bracket would be better.
