Here's an idea (that I'll have to be reminded about later). We could make sure the way the heat sink is mounted is such that you can remove it and replace it with a standard sort of fan, and we can put the power connector for it on the board too. We'll sell it with passive cooling, but we're calculate how much you can overclock it reliably with a certain level of active cooling. Oh, and since swapping the fan out wouldn't involve soldering, it wouldn't void your warranty (unless you overtightened the screws and cracked something). How's that? :) _______________________________________________ Open-graphics mailing list [email protected] http://lists.duskglow.com/mailman/listinfo/open-graphics List service provided by Duskglow Consulting, LLC (www.duskglow.com)
