VF 700 on an 8800GT

[Atheist]

I'm considering putting my old VF700 (from my remaining 6600GT) on my 8800GT. From what I have read, it should be better than stock cooling (idle ~60C, load w/ ATITOOL hovered around 86C). I have 8 Zalman RAM sinks as well. My question is, should I be worried about the voltage regulators and putting a heat sink on those? If so, I suppose I'll need to go find some thermal tape. I have no plans to overclock, causing me to hesitate at even swapping the coolers - stock is quiet but really freaking hot. Opinions?

I'm not sure how much better a Vf-700 will do compared to stock cooling on an 8800GT. I hope ur talking about the all Cu version too. It might work okay but for sure that Vf-700 fan is gonna have to run at 12v.

About the VRMs... do you have a nearby front intake fan? If u do that should be enough. If not, get one.

IMHO, its prolly best just to get a $20 AC accelero S1 and zip tie any spare fan u have onto it. It will push enough air over the VRMs too.
