Yes, it'll fit, but personally, I wouldn;t recommend it due to the size of the die.
I had the battle-axe on my 8800GTS 512 (G92), and only the 2 center heatpipes touched the GPU.
It still cooled it better than the stock dual-slot heatsink, but I found that the Acellero S1 with a single 70mm fan on it cooled my card better than the battle-axe.
I would only recommend the Battle-Axe for older cards with a larger GPU die.

well SOB... I searched all over google with no luck but was looking more at images to see if I could see how it fit. I might just tell my buddy to hold off and wait for the Twin Turbo.
That's not really necessary; the S1 will cool the card fine even without a fan.
I know it will but im hoping the Twin Turbo isnt as bulky in the case. I have used the S1 on a few rigs and it does work very well. Its an option we might consider still.
You should take a look at the Coolink GFXChilla if you're worried about size; it's only a dual-slot cooler even with the included fans mounted. You won't find any aftermarket coolers smaller than dual-slot.
NAH, Yahoo is better
