Latest toy - Thermalright V2 VGA cooler

I installed this VGA cooler on an ATI 4870 1GB and what an improvement! I have a silent 2000 RPM Scyth (http://www.coolerguys.com/kflex80.html) on there and it outperforms the loud stock cooler night and day. Have yet to see this thing leave the 50C area where the stock cooler pushing up towards 90C!

Copper is by far the best metal for comp coolers. It may not dissipate as much immediate heat as alum, but it will take away and absorb much more heat than alum! Of course, along with the same surface area comes more mass which makes cooling much more efficient on all fronts. Low RPM fans work perfectly fine with copper.

PS. I also run a low RPM fan on my CPU with a copper heatsink. This is what the CPU heatsink looks like:
