Those might be self made, but they kinda look like the NZXT ones...

But the GTX 500 series definetly won me over so far this year. I will have to say for pure brut force and power these babies are crazy. They also don't run as warm as the ATI/AMD cards do this gen. As well as even though the HD 6900 series gained allot of tessellation performance.... the GTX 500 series still has them beat. For eample two HD 6950's vs. Two GTX 580's in Heaven benchmark. While sure I know the GTX 580's are more powerful regaurdless.... they also just seem to cut through the tessellation with ease compared to the HD6950's. I would say if you are buying last gen.... go ATI.... If you are buying this gen Go Nvidia.... But once.... ATI new arcitechure matures.... I think the following gen we will see a real hard core street fight between Nvidia and ATI!!! Hope this helps

Certainly is... I used to use a (clean/unused) paintbrush but canned air is so much easier/quicker.

they are worthless,they will no way provide as secure fit as if it would be with screws..and they feel so cheap..When I've build my first i7 rig back in 2009,uppon first try to fit the stock cooler one of these cheap ass push pins broke.fortunately I had another cooler,so I could finish the build the same day.

Nothing beats removal completely of the HS and washing it in hot water and Sugar soap the HS will come out looking brand new I did it with both my original CM 212 and HIS's version of the VF900 (the one with the stinking egg cooler) both come out looking all shiny and new looking

And my hardware isn't so new anymore but it still cost me the full whack at the time which actually is the key problem here I now think.
