is it just me or has gpu heat sinks finally caught up to cpu heat sinks?

Good point! There have been a couple that were ahead of their time, most notably from Artic Cooling. I had this Gigabyte V-Power gpu hsf that was amazing and was released a a couple years ago. It looked great and performed great on a hot 4850. They just didn't advertise it enough or gave up on it for some reason.

Dont buy one for a GTX470 just yet. I tried getting mine installed and the cooler doesnt even touch the core, and with the smaller risers suplied it will make a taco of your card. Just a heads up to those looking to buy

ebolamonkey3 · Jul 14, 2010

Hmm... I guess they really designed this with the 480 in mind. Would love to see a review of it on a 5870 or hear any owner's thoughts.

Akrian · Jul 18, 2010

Umm IDK, but I have an MSI 470, and after 2.5h I've mounted my Gelid ICY VISION,and did some tests. Everything is connected and tight.Can make a pic to prove if you want me too.

ebolamonkey3 · Jul 18, 2010

I didn't mean that it couldn't be used on other coolers, but that they designed this with the 480 in mind mostly because it's much hotter than the ATI cards.

Just bought one not more than 3 minutes ago.

Had he not said his didn't fit right I would have. (Want a warranty just in case.) Got mine off svc.com for $63.59. Cheapest I could find anywhere.

What brand of card is that on?

Akrian · Jul 21, 2010

MSI reference GTX 470

Here's the THING.
And here's furmark :

This is mounted with the taller risers as per the instructions? Or did you use the smaller set of 4 risers?

the stand off's are "B", in mounting holes that off 58.42 mm,and then continued with the instructions.

sneekypeet · Jul 21, 2010

yup those fail on EVGA with or without the little black plastic washer. I have to use part C to even get the cooler to contact the IHS :confused:

here's a view from the side

Akrian · Jul 21, 2010

Strange

I thought EVGA also had the standart PCB design just like all other ref. 470's.

Maban · Jul 21, 2010

How are EVGA's different?

sneekypeet · Jul 21, 2010

One would assume such things. Shorter IHS is all I can think, or Akrain packed his with TIM and never looked if it fit dry?

I did, looked like both - the core and the copper plate were tight together. no spasing nothing. And I've screwed the spring/screw things ( sorry IDK how you guys name those on english) on the back of the pcb very-very tight.
I mean I did run the kombuster, furmark and occt, and the card did show good temps, wouldn't it otherwise fail if it wasn't the right fit?

sneekypeet · Jul 21, 2010

I would again assume it would be higher temps as well

douglatins · Jul 22, 2010

I`m waiting for the VF3000 for the 480

Maban · Jul 22, 2010

Just received mine today. Will update on if it fits and cooling.

sneekypeet · Jul 22, 2010

very interested to see how it goes

Stock auto reached 94 but settled on 91.
http://www.screencast.com/t/ZDg1MWQyNm

Stock 100% dropped to 86.
http://www.screencast.com/t/NGFhYzBkZT

Gelid Icy Vision reached 78. Would have been 75 if ambient didn't rise as well.
http://www.screencast.com/t/YzE5MGQ3MjE

As instructed there's too much space between the core and heatsink. I had to exclude the four spacers/washers on the heatsink side of the card. It still wasn't the greatest fit but I'm getting pretty good results. It idles at 34-35. Ambient through tests was 24-26. Average fan speed is 2237RPM and will not go up or down. Fan percentage will change but RPM will not and there is no audible difference if it is changing. Played Call of Pripyat for a few minutes and it topped out at 59 on max settings. I should state that I'm using OCZ Freeze and not the included GC-2.
