AGP cards do have 2 sides like all the other cards(duh?). I was just wondering how you are gonna cool down the backside of the agp chip. It's getting really hot.
I've seen heatsinks that works on both sides, but how does one apply them?

I just bought a 80mm fan and rested it on the back blowing down on the back of my 9800pro's GPU.
Also have an iceberq 4 i modded by taking off that cheap blue plastic piece on top of it that says iceberq (which keeps the heat from dissipating as efficiently i find).
