6800nu reference copper heatsink by EVGA

[Mr. Stryker]

I'm getting an eVGA 6800 vanilla AGP on the 25th, and I really don't want to void my warranty. Instead doing this, do you think getting this

would be worth it, better than its aluminum crap?

OR

Buy Zalman VF700 AlCu and leave the stock RAMSINK on and just use the Zalman to cool the core?

vf700-CU and use the included ramsinks to cool the memory

 

[Mr. Stryker]

I agree with that also, the stock RAM coolers are way good enough, right?

I am pretty sure if you change the heatsink you void the warranty.

The Zalman will void your warrenty for sure, and the copper eVGA cooler you linked will probably void it too. What I dont understand is unless you intended to overclock the card (voids you warrenty), then why would you need anything other than the stock cooler to cool it at stock speeds? Just tossing out a hypothetical there, no disrespect meant.
