    I use the Artic Cooling Accellero well, here is the link, I can't seem to spell today.:-D http://www.svc.com/fan-acces1.html I don't use the stock TIM, I use AS5, and wire tie one or 2 120mm fans...

    Oh yeah, buy you some of the little heatsinks for the cards RAM. It is in link above, in the bottom of the page.

    My 8800GT runs full out Cuda induced FAH with one of these, and load GPU temp is 55C with an ambient of 29C. I have a little overclock on it: Core 734MHz, Shader 1862MHz, and Memory 1003MHz.

    is there any noticeable stress on the card after installing this cooler? it looks HUGE

    It is a freaking monster! :tas But it is pretty light (290g). I think the stock cooler on mine weighed about the same or a little more. My stock one covered one side of the card.

    Here is a pict. Keep in mind, this computer is on a box on the floor, not in a case.:-D

    Ohh dang, I need to clean that CPU heatsink... I took the pict with it running, did not know how dirty it is!
