Evil, it destroyed my 5970
Rams and PWM stay "nacked" and are only cooled by the airflow ?
Is this enough, or will they "die" faster ?
some people make their own mod :twitch:
check out this dude with his solution for VRM cooling combined with the Arctic Accelero Xtreme Plus:

Won't work in CF (too big) but it looks nice.
I'll be saving some penny's to go for 2 x Xtreme Plus II versions for my rig, because the temps rise very quickly @ my VTX3D HD6950 cards.
