    Must be "low cost" pipes because even a VF900 on a GTX loads at 70C according to this thread

    Great review thanx! So does that duorb work on HD2900s? I thought the 2900 had the same holes as the X1900 around the core.

    If it can't keep an 8800 cool I doubt it'll keep a 2900 cool

    Did you not put any heatsinks on the VRM's of the 8800 GT ? Sad to hear that the VF900 will outperform the Duo orb when mounted on a 8800 GTX. I wonder what would happen of you mount the VF900 on the 8800 GT.

    i recently took the VF900 off my old x1800xl and it works well on my GT. Load temps of 65 max @ 756core/1890shader, in crysis, ati tool, and tabula rasa w/ all settings to max. I'm not talking just running 1 min at load, talking stabilized max temp - constant temp over time - flat line across.

    Idles around 40-42.

    If you don't mind. Could you do a Duo-orb vs AC S1 w/Yate Loon DS12L? Very nice work on the comparison.

    I might try that as well i still have a vf900 somewhere. But i'm worried about the uncovered VRM's.

    I would pick the other one. The Duo only had two heatpipes. And when you put it at a 8800 GTX a VF900 seemed to be cooling better. Soms say it has low quality heatpipes. The VF1000 also have more heatpipes and you can also mount two fans on it so i would go for the VF1000 instead.
