Zalman VF3000A (ATI Radeon 5800 Series Cooler)

Hi guys. I wanna know if there is somebody in here who purchased this cooler. I ordered it for my Sapphire 5850 (reference card). The temps of the card are very low right now with the stock cooler, but I want this cooler for overclocking purposes and I heard that it does a great job. So far I stabilized my card at 1040 Mhz core/ 1250 Mhz memory @1.3 volts. I want to see if I can reach 1100 Mhz on the core with this cooler, because with stock cooling temps go a little high at voltages higher than that and artifacts occur from time to time in intense games like Crysis or in Furmark. There's a video review of the cooler on Youtube. And there's also a good review here. I already ordered it and I'll receive it in three days, and if the performance is how I expect to be, I'll purchase another one immediately for my second 5850 that I intend to buy in a couple of months.
As soon as I have some time, I'll make an extended review of it, but until then, I was wondering if someone got his hands on this cooler and can tell me how well does it perform actually. Cheers.
