Owners who've replaced TIM are apparently seeing measurable temp drops. The cooler design puts the GPU at your disposal without having to mess with pads! Nice..

Very nice to see Afterburner support! Apparently voltage tweaking is possible. I'd hold off on that (beta), but would certainly do a custom fan profile! Mild OC's with a good fan profile, even without a TIM replacement.. lower temps??

Update:
I just finished replacing the TIM on my new 470's with AS5. I'm running Afterburner with a good fan profile and 3D clocks @ 650/1300/1700. Compared to what I've seen in reviews, I'm happy with my idle and load temps! Remember, this is w/ SLI:
GTX 470 SLI idle temp:
GTX 470 SLI load temp:

Be wise with this type of info. If you've never messed with heatsinks/TIM, or overclocking before, don't let an expensive card be your first test subject. Work on a spare junker, better yet, don't mess around at all.
