However, it really seems like S1 is receiving too little attention here, the domain of quiet cooling solutions, where for some pretty good reasons it demands more consideration. For the following reasons:
1. It passively, noiselessly cools far better than stock, and well on par with non-passive aftermarket coolers.
2. If you put fans on it, it becomes the most effective VGA air-cooling on the market
2. It does fit 8800GT, albeit unofficially and unsupportedly, and does fit the new Ati cards very well indeed, as you needn't even remove the standard RAM/VRM heatsinks
3. It only costs $20-$25, half as much as other decent aftermarket VGA coolers, or just $8 more if you want the "Turbo Module" (custom quiet 2x80mm fans) on it.
4. You can attach your own 120mm fans of choice for superior noise/cooling/reliability
5. It won't clog and lose effectiveness from dust, thanks to the sheer size of it

Seriously, eliminating one of the major sources of noise in the system for very reasonable money was for me one of the best computer purchases ever, so I heartily recommend it. Everyone who's looking to cool and quiet their gaming computer should be aware of this heatsink.
Here's also some links to reviews that compare it to the competition:
