iv read reviews about this cooler and sorry to say they werent very good. I read that the fan doesnt move much air, and the blower on top does absolutely nothing. I have and would recommend the zalman version. I cant remember the model#, its the blue one that has the heatpipe. I made my own wind tunnel for it and the air goes out the back where the card slots are, using a 120mm fan. my radeon x800 at max load wont go above 38C
