for starters.. ati overdrive run 500/600 in 2D and i cant move the sliders for 3D it is locked at 600/650 :D but i solve this with ato tool i overclock.

for second..

ati tool show 3 temperature

Voltage regulator temperature
GPU temperature
temperature chip temperature

All temperature is low except voltage temperature it can be 80 C when play very demanding games like fear on maximum graphics..... how high is it safe voltage regulator temperature and what is it? pardon my english:D How can make it lower?:banghead:

You've reached your max regardless of what others may post. The more heat the vregs have to work in the more current is needed to maintain stability. I suggest you buy a 80mm fan and find a way to blow air on them. I also suggest you buy some ramsinks and place them on the vregs as a extra measure for cooling them with a fan. You cannot passive cool vregs!!! It must be active cooling with some sort of fan directly on them. Most case fans work better vertically then horizontally.

Swiftech MC14 (http://www.sidewindercomputers.com/swmcbgamera.html)
use a little pressure when installing these MC14s

Ohh :eek: I need 6 of them? thats 120 $ ?:( Ohh i see now it 8 :D good. hmm how do they stuck? is there glue under them?

[EastCoasthandle]

adhesive thermal tape that requires some pressure to stick properly.
All you need is to buy 1 pack

I bought some of them and it is 5 C lower temperature now! =D

But they was to big 1 covered 1/2 of them so i did get many left overs i put all over the card where it look suspiscious :O
