Wow, 39 degrees! You made me think about a CoolIT Eco ALC I had floating about somewhere. Not a chance in hell of it fitting with stock mounting brackets but that's the thing - they're changeableI had wondered... what if some custom brackets were cut and drilled? I shall have to consider this. Depends how super-jealous I feel for not having water-cooled graphics in the near future :P
Yes. Make a bracket and strap it on! I bet it'll drop your temps.
I did manage to get it up to 41c after about 1 hour of furmark (from my loop warming up). Next I plan to make a heatsink for the vregs before I go into major OC mode. I have it at 850/1700/2000 @ 1volt stable now.

Just threw my palit on water. Using a swiftech mcw80 and so far my temps are topping out at 38C at 875 (1volt). I have not played with voltages yet but think my vregs are holding me back. At 900 I run into problems. I have a small 80X15 fan hanging from the end of the card but I think I need to add something with a little more oomph.

Im going to play with clocks and volts in the morning, but I'd be willing to bet the next voltage step will get you to 900.Originally Posted by azureoval

I ran "heaven" @ 900 (1.012V) and it ran through with two "glitches" that I saw. I think at 1.087 I might be good. I may have to flash the bios to get more voltage adjustment. Still under 40c at 900 so that is good news.

Mine takes 1.075v for 900 to be stable
