Not just Nvidia, My Gigabyte board has the 780G chipset, very toasty N/B. On top of that the sink is low profile to fit nested by the pci-e card. Thought about an aftermaket Zalman but decided not to after I picked up a Sunbeam CoreContact Cooler for the cpu. That frackin thing is huge, comes with it's own 120 and another 120 exhaust fan moves plenty of air. Neither fan goes over 1500 and even GRAW2 won't push her over 38c.
Btw; I'm wondering if any of you guys picked up on what the pic of the fan looks like
