I'm going to try slapping the Zalman NB heatsink on it this weekend and see how it does. Sounds like it's not been done before, and I'm as good a guinea pig as any. I've heard of it done, but I don't remember on what cards (but with only the older orange one). My biggest concern about the zalman NB...

If nothing goes wrong, I might want to remove it and reuse it when I upgrade my video ca...

Hello, I'm new here. I have an ASUS 9180TD (MX440-8x) which overclocks to 360mhz core / 620mhz ram (above which it artifacts), which seems to be the loudest component in my system(based on stopping the fans one at a time).
