Kind of off-topic, but what program are you using to monitor your CPU temps/use rates/etc off on the right side? I'm using Samurize but I can't get the Coretemp plugin to work properly.

Looks like everest to me.

Seems to be that the biggest problem in cooling the 4870 isn't cooling the core so much as it is in cooling the voltage regs(VRMs) sufficiently.

Iandh has some custom milled heatsinks for the 4870's mem and VRM but TBH the VRM HS doesn't look sufficient.

If I had to money to just spend I'd get one of these coolers and some Iandh heatsinks, but I don't so :/

Nice, I'll have to buy a copy of Everest when I upgrade to Vista (not going to waste it when I'm planning on switching to 64-bit Vista sometime soon).
