I just got this in and all I can say is WOW at the temp drops and where my temp stays during long periods of gaming... From 57-67C down to 47 and getting up to 55 during long hours of gaming... I <3 zalman... If you are thinking about getting a heatsink for keeping that new investment nice and cool or overclocking it with out water cooling... This is the baby to get.

If I can my digi cam... I will =D Man those stock heatsinks are horrible.... Just a low profile aluminum heat sink and what ever the hell they put on the ram sinks with 1/8th" thick tape. My little blue copper or aluminum ( i think they are alum) do a better job then that crap for sure. I dont even plan to overclock my 6800GT but I may now snice it can handle the temp increase hehe.
Hmm... I just checked what my V-card clock speeds are... And I noticed that I overclocked while playing the ntune last night just seeing what iwas etc...
Stock:
350 core
1000 Ram
Temps: 57C IDLE 65C++ Gaming
What it is at:
370
1070
Temps: 47 IDLE 55C Gaming....
I only ran the ntune for 5 mins and I guess I hit the save option... Keep in mind, this is running at 48C idle and only gets to about 55-56 After gaming for a few hours. Man what a nice heat sink can do lol.
My only question is... When I put the little ram sinks on, they kinda go knocked off easy.. Is this only gonna be like during intial install?

I got my VF700AlCu two nights ago and am loving it as well. It replaced a very dusty stock cooler and knocked load temps down 20 degrees. It's only given me an extra 10mhz on the core, and 50mhz on the memory though (422/1.16) but it's so quiet compared to the old one.Prim3 said:
I was a little worried about the ramsinks, but read somewhere that they'll cure over the first few days, which I take to mean 'get really stuck on.'
