Connect 3D x800xl

Hey,

I got this video card yesterday off Monarch. My question is if I should upgrade the heatsink and stuff on it? It looks kinda cheap. Any one else have one? Input would be great.

For the card the Heatsink will keep it within Operating temps performing just fine.
Of course if you plan to OC you will need more.

No, I don't think you'll need more cooling for OC'ing, I'm at 444Mhz (around the limit for this the R430 core) and my LOAD temperatures are ~60. I doubt I would be able to squeeze out anything more unless I v-modded it, then I would need better cooling..

I have the same heatsink/fan as the one you linked to by the way.
