i bought a ati hd 5450 off someone on here :). i like it so far. except for the tempts.. idle its 160f. i had it up to 202f the other day :(. it doesnt have no hsf. so what will be the best way of cooling it? no room to mount a fan on the sink because i have limited room
 
202 F is 94 C which is VERY hot for a gpu. you said it was passive though so that will happen in a cramped case.

you also said that you like the 5450 but surely you can not be happy with it for gaming. a 5450 is horrible and does not even meet minimum requirements for newer games.

given the size of his case and the fact that he doesn't have space for a fan, my bet is this cards wasn't purchased for gaming.

well thats what I would think too but what else would put the gpu under enough load to make it 94 C?

i like that fan.. i would have to rig something up seeing my mobo or psu doesnt have a molex cable. as soon a i sell my jtag. im upgrading cpus. right now i got a 2.2ghz celeron..

i thinking of building one of them fans. build it out of plexi. i got a fan like that. and add some 0603 leds to it
 
I wouldnt be surprised if there are some versions of those types of fan with the 3 pin motherboard headers. If not the build your own route would be cool as you can make it more to your tastes.
 
ive got a fan i pulled from a 360 psu. and it sucks air from the top. and has a slot in the side that it pushes it out. be perfect
