AC NV5 for 6800 ultra worth it?

[imported_dani]

After reading quite a few reviews that showed the NV5 to be benificial for the 6800 ultra I bought one. Yes the increased performance was shown to be minimal but any increase was worth $25 to me. But after installation my temps went up from 49C to around 59C idle. I am sure the install went fine and even tried reinstalling twice. On every review I have seen the NV5 lowered temps a few degrees. I am wondering what other peoples experience has been like. And does anyone have any links to reviews on eVGA'S copper heatsink for 6800 ultras.

what brand ultra do you have? did it have a reference heatsink fan?

It is NOT worth it, trust me.

It lowered my temps on my GT by like 10 degress.

When I got my ultra and installed it I got a 3 degree drop.

The NV5 seems like it was designed for the NU and GT. I have found that the only worthwhile upgrade for the ultra is the evga copper heatsink. It lowered my temps 2-3C. Allthough case temps are lowered by the NV5, the core temps are higher. The reviews that say otherwise are just wrong. Does anyone want to buy a new NV5 rev.2?
