Hi does anyone know how to add a Socket A heatsink to a Leadtek 6600 non gt

other than using this method

What would be the point of risking damage to your card? It appears you have a decent video card overclock already...how much more to you realistically think you're gonna gain?
I don't know what motherboard you have or whether your CPU is a S754 64-bit Sempron or not, but if it is, you *should* be able to overclock it much higher, provided you back off on the RAM. The CPU & RAM do not have to run in sync on a S754 system.

its a socket 754 with idle temp at 30 degrees
and load temperatures at 34-38 degrees.do you think i can overclock it a bit more

i have been able to get another 70-80mhz on the core and 13Mhz on the memory(without ramsinks) but the temperatures were too high so i backed it down to 500.
thanks for all the help

this is all with the stock cooler (cpu and graphics card)

What I'm getting at is why risk the card just to gain another 10-20MHz? It's not worth it & I doubt the difference would be very noticeable, if it is at all.
As for the system overclock, you should be able to easily get your CPU to run at 2.25GHz (9 x 250) provided you change the RAM setting to DDR333...the CPU overclock will push the RAM speed up to 208MHz. You may even be able to run the CPU at 2.34GHz (9 x 260) with the RAM at 217MHz. Make sure to lock the AGP at 67MHz (not 66) & disable all Spread Spectrum settings. You may have to raise the CPU & RAM voltages slightly, but that would depend on your board, CPU, RAM & how well they tolerate overclocking.

my motherboard is a ASRock K8NF4G-SATA2 pci express it has pci express lock but does it have pci lock as i have set the fsb to 250 and the system restarted so i kept it at 225

One just needs to be a little creative and resourceful, i my self hooked up a cheap-o radio shack $7.99 mini heat-sink (i think it was made for a PIII) to my plain Jain vanilla 6800, and was able to increase the core clock speed 110mhz over stock. 325mhz to 435mhz using Rivatuner's Maxclock disable trick. My temps never top 60c after 2 hours of 3dmark05 looping. So was it worth the risk? It depends, Do you lack the confidence of knowing its not quantum physics to modify a CPU HS and attach it to a video-card. As a past time and a hobby its fun to "mod" and if your careful and methodical then I encourage it.
Never accept "as is" for being good enough.

Why don't you just buy a zalman VF700 ALCU or pure copper version? I installed on my leadtek 7600gt agp and the temperatures are
Room temperature = 70-72F
Stock 46C idle 58C full load
Zalman VF700 ALCU + AS5 @ 5v fan 38C idle 47C full loadgot my zalman VF700 ALCU for $24.99 and the 8 ram sinks are wasted due to heatsink interfere with RAM sinks installed... But the samsung 1.4ns GDDR3 seems to hold upto 1600Mhz without any problems...

I have a XFX 7600GS that has only a large heatsink and no fan. I simply stuck the fan from my Athlon 2000 on to the heat sink.
Temperature is now at 41C and under load abt 45C. As Mr.Noobie said, One just needs to be a little creative and resourceful,
I was lucky though. The gap between the fins of the heat sink was just enough for me to securely screw the fan in (same screws that you use with the original socket A heat sink). had the gap been lesser, the screws would not have gone in and had the gap been more, the screw would not have held.
Have done this just a couple of days back and have not yet had the time to test overclocking.
One concern however is the chances of motherboard damage by hooking up a CPU fan to the chassis fan power. To be safe, I will just connect the fan to a molex connector from the SMPS and by pass the board altogether.
Money spent = nothing. Time = 10 minutes.
If your card does not have a fan, it is much better to attach a fan, any fan (even something small from an old Celeron will do) rather than play with heatsinks.
Heat sinks are any day passive cooling. Any passive cooling, even the best of them, rely on good air flow. You can simply force heat air out of cool air in (depending on the fan) and achieve much cooler temps than changing cooler but not working on the airflow.You may have a slightly noisier system, but then, you cant have the best of all worlds, can you?
