Vga Cooling with Heatpipe

[fliptastic]

Instead of buying that sapphire ultimate 9800xt, why not just stick a thermaltake "giant II" heat pipe and make a frame to fit an 80mm for the card on the side. Someone said it' bent their card, will i need some kind of support or beam to hold it up!??! If so then i should just stick to a water block yea?

the heatsink thats on it is the Zalman ZM80C-HP and it has that optional quiet fan. So you could just get that exact one as it seems people like it better than the Giant. Should be simple to make support, I read som1 on here put two slot covers back to back to make a " T " and it was perfect for the support. I will try something similar when mine comes in to make sure I keep the stress at a minimum.
