The fan on the stock cooler for my 9800gt was dieing, so I replaced the stock cooler with a zalman vf900. Temps in the FurMark stability test reach over 90c. I touched the heatsink and the fins seemed warm to the touch, but when I touched the heatpipe, I got the bodily reaction that screams "get the f*** away from that" and my hand jerked back automatically. Do I need a better cooler for my 9800gt, so am I just not installing the cooler properly? There is good contact with the base and cooler because of how hot that heatpipe got... temps are around 40c idle, over 90c load...
