[cloned]

Yeah summer is a real test, Im actually expecting a rise of more then 6c im load temps

yeah it is going to be brutal, but still better than stock

Just got the VF1000 for my 8800gt, running the fan at around 50%. Running ati tool .26 for 16 minutes I've gotten:

Nvidia Core: 64 c max
Nvidia Ambient: 49 c max
Southbridge: 52 c max

With the stock cooler I've gotten about 76 c max - I don't know if it's that much of an improvement to have spent 55 dollars on it though...

case: enermax uber chakra
cpu: Q6600
cpu fan: 9700 led
gpu: 8800gt
gpu fan: 1000vf

Run the fan higher if you want more...

I don't see why you are seeming to be upset, any drop in temp is good.

No, no... just disappointed. I had the same temps with the zalman vf900 with the same speed. I'll probably wait a week to have the zalman super thermal grease set in and see if that's the reason why it's the same temp.

I also tried the duorb and max temp was 50 c, but the fan was on max and was just way to loud for me.
