I'm not telling anyone not to use mods, just making more of a general disclaimer. Either way, it is nice to know what graphics cards can handle the task and which ones struggle (or die).

Mine was an Nvidia GE8600 in my laptop it would get quite hot even without mods if I did not prop it up on something. Upon disassembly, it looked like there wasn't a large enough contact patch of thermal compound between the GPU chip and the heat sink.
