Hey fello UK'er

All of the 8800GTs regardless of manufacture are all based on the same reference card.
I'm sure a few companies who have higher clocks 'Cherry Pick' their cards but other than that its luck regarding to what clocks you can get.

The things that separate the cards is the companies warranty procedure, clocks and bundles.

I have a Leadtek and mines clocks way up to 720/2050/1800.

I'm curious about something.

I've seen some guys take off their 8800GTS's cooler and replace the GPU's thermal compound with AS5. I'm guessing this is possible with the 8800GT?

Also, as I understand, the VRAM has thermal pads to make contact with the heatsink. Any idea if a company makes those thermal pads, as I'm guessing you'll have to replace them once you remove the cooler.

My question is, should this fan be intake or exhaust? I am using a panaflo which connected to my fan controller and it pumping air out of my case at the moment. Is this the ideal setup or do I have it backwards?

I would say intake to get some relieve. Of course, this depends on the positive or negative airflow in your case. Hope other comment here.
