When you say "stock", you mean the stock cooler ?
I think it's pretty good :

2nd last post.

Did you have a chance to OC the card and if so, what's the temperature like on the VRM with the Koolance block installed.

I'm not really a fan of full-covered block and my MCW55 has served me well for 3+yrs on 3 different cards. But I think I'm gonna bite the bullet and spring for a full block this time.
Either this one or the EK block. I'm leaning towards the Koolance block cuz it's cheaper lol.

btw can someone tell me the safe max. mem clock ?. I managed to run it @ 1100 with 2+hrs Atitool and 40+ mins into Furmark w/o problem, other than the v. high VRM temp.
Is it true that the DDR5s shouldn't be pushed beyond 1000. I really don't wanna kill the card prematurely
especially if I am going to spend 100 bones just on the full-covered block alone. TIA

850/1000 is enough speed for me.
Not sure how it stands against other singelcards but runs everything I want just fine.
