The only downside is that VRMs are now hotter as this cooler doesnt cool them. But i did get an overclock gain without raising voltage to 825/950, previously i was stuck at 815/945 at stock voltage. I'm currently experementing with coolers, next i will install AC Accelero S1 Rev2, that one will cool the VRMs better as i can mount 2 92mm fans on it. So i'm going to see which one will let me overclock further. Another good cooler for this card is the T-Rad but i personally couldn't use it as my ramsinks wont fit under it. I would consider getting either one of these as it seems that you would benefit from better cooling.
    No, don't mount the S1 on the card. It will keep the vrms very hot. I had it installed on my card with 2X120mm fans and it was pretty bad. Even the gpu wasn't that cool. HR-03 seems very efficient, though.

    You can use this to keep the vrms cold: http://www.zalman.com/ENG/product/Pr...ad.asp?idx=335
