what was that older trick that people used for Ati cards having to do with the backplates and putting spacers to increase the pressure on the heatsink, does that still apply to these cards? i wonder if that would help or work.

hopefully ati will put more effort into there cooling for the cayman as nvidia did with the gtx480.
The cooler is no different than the last few reference coolers. I think you had a similar style on your reference 5770??? I could be mistaken.
MX-2 should do the trick although I did have MX-2 on one of my 5770 hawks and MX-3 on the other 5770 hawk. It seemed MX-3 was 3 degrees cooler. I am just trying TX-4 now. Didn't make much difference from MX-3.

@ Godmyster - performance is what I usually run/see a lot of.
