Splave told me he cut the base of the HSF and used that to cover the VRs, that's why you don't see any heat sinks. Memory is kept cold enough by the eraser (cover the mem chips) and the LN2 pot.

Also, you don't need the go slow bios flash because you set the card for LN2 and voltage with the switches on the back. Set ALL switches to on, then follow Splave's guide.

I'm going to run mine later today, if you want to look at the heatsinks I used check the thread I posted called "WWJD".

Splavious, if you read this, please check my pics and let me know if the other chips need sinks. I put sinks on all chips your plate covers (I believe)

Ok, today I got around to opening the lightning, and it seems my pot can easily fit even with the memory/vreg/whole card sink installed. Should I go around and insulate the card around it or should I remove it and insulate it like any other card???

Cannot cut the sink, since would be looking to sell the card once I am done with it. Please suggest.

Edit : A second look at Splave's pics tells me, he is using the same base sink as well.
