Installation of Spirca Extended Heatsink for Geforce 2 MX


Have you ever seen an Apple BTO genuine nVIDIA Geforce 2 MX for the Cube? This is it. The heatsink is much larger than the one for the Tower. For safe and stable operation, you need a larger heatsink for the Cube, even when using the original CPU.

This extended heatsink supports nVIDIA Geforce 2 MX, both 32MB and 64MB. They both have ADC and VGA connectors. If the card does not have both connectors, it is a PC flashed card.

Place the Thermal Sheet, included in this kit, on top of the original heatsink.

If you purchased an "Extended heatsink with Fan", put vinyl tape on the small chips between the video memory chips as shown on the photo. Vinyl tape is not included in this kit.

Now place the extended heatsink on the original heatsink. The extended heatsink has a mortise that fits the original heatsink, so it is easy to place.

Place 2 screws to affix the heatsink, using the rubber bushings and nuts. Don't tighten them too much. It may bend the card.

If you don't have an the optinal fan, you're done.



Put the themal sheets on the video memory chips and place the fan on the video memory. You can connect the fan connecter to J2 connector located beside the memory slot.

Our test results:

Original Geforce 2 MX 32MB 77.6 degree C
With Extended Heatsink 62.4 degree C
With Extended Heatsink and fan 53.8 degree C
