Gabe, I already have some sinks like those, I'll try them but we need some forced air circulation over them for sure.

"some circulation" is key word; in practice a well designed system should include a low flow fan for HD's, or a side panel fan typically placed in the neighborhood of the VGA. all these sinks need is air circulation, nothing more.Originally Posted by leo_bsb

I've got the Swiftech 8800GTX mosfet coolers all over mine with airflow. The Vitecs get smoking hot and in fact the back side of the 4870 where the vitec chips are is the hottest spot.
Here's a pic of mine with the MP-01. Idle 32, load 38c. The only issue I have is Furmark will crash, always had even stock settings / cooling. Would get a black screen after about a minute. I can game for hours without an issue.
Gabe, I wouldnt mind testing something a bit more robust for the mosfets and vitec chips. I would have no problems reporting here. I've got a hand held thermal sensor to test temps with.

I received my Asus 4870 today. I was going to use the stock plate to cool the ram and vregs and use the D-Tek Fuzion GFX 2 to cool the GPU. There is just one problem with that idea: The stock plate does not even touch the ram and vregs! Anyone else experience this problem? Now I'll have to wait until iandh comes out with his custom sinks, or D-Tek makes a uni-sink for it (if they will). I should have just bought the EK full cover like I was originally going too.
iandh, where are those custom sinks!!!!????
Only that "some circulation" doesn't cut it. I tried with an Accelero S1, big fat Thermalright heatsinks on the pwms and vitec chip and 3 (!) medium speed 80mm fans on top blowing down, still blackscreened after 2 mins of FUR or 10 mins of ATITool. It's either Delta fan, stock cooling or full cover block.
