This saved me 20c on VRM load temps (yes 20c). I could have probablly used AS5, the VRM's are in an acrylic housing and saved a couple of more C.
Interesting .

I'm curious to the following :
Do you have a 92mm fan attached to the heatsink ?
Do you also have a 120mm fan blowing on the card ?
Do you have heatsinks on the naked IC's next to the heatsink you were talking about (Vreg) ?
