case with a 120mm fan in the back and an 80mm in the front and on the side, so
I'm not doing anything special to try to keep it cool. I think nVidia just did an
exceptional job making a great card.

PS - the heatsink fins cleared all the ramsinks with no modding needed. I had to clip some fins on a few ramsinks when I installed one of these coolers on an X800GTO2.
