man, my XFX 88GTX (@ stock clocks) ran so hot with the stock cooler... like 65 degrees idle, 85 load!!

swapped the stock cooler for a lapped Swiftech MCW60-R waterblock in a triple-rad loop. now my OC'ed (sig clocks) temps are 40 degrees idle, 45 load!!

Even if you don't go water, an aftermarket cooler will do wonders for your card...
