Hi Deepsix, I have an X700 AGP card & it weighs 1kg (no kidding) but it runs cool, I purchased 8 small (video card) copper heatsinks, come with adhesive thermal tape & cost around AU$15, I also placed a vantec iceberg cooling fan on the opposite side of the other fan (now has 2) since it had a nice flat piece of aluminium plate to mount to!

Yes I'm a little paranoid about heat problems.

Also I have an AMD Athlon 64 processor & can vouch for a fact that the Vapochill (refrigerated) heatsink keeps the processor at around 28Deg C without giving off much heat at all, and it cost around AU$70 I previously had a radiator & pump setup, and this is better!!

Hope this is of some value to you!
Cheers.
