I knew something wasn't right. You have to be careful as to not tighten down the sinks too much. Too tight, and you actually bend the sinks off the VRMs in the middle. After a little tweaking of the screws, I was able to get the temps close together. So good work iandh I'll work on overclocking after I overclock my CPU (which good take a few days). I'll post my results when I finally get around to overclocking the card.



Thanks for posting those results. I'm hoping that we can get some more and get an average for what these run.

Just FYI ceramique is my TIM of choice for mounting. It isn't too thick so you can get good contact with little pressure.

You have to be careful when mounting these, there really isn't too much of a way around it unless I supplied a backplate... which would probably need to be laser cut with a ventilated hole pattern or risk hurting more than helping with temps.

What do you have as far as airflow over the card goes?
