what's with all the q-tips?

One would assume the q-tips are for cleaning purposes. Say removing thermal paste, dust, and oil from a heatsink or gpu/cpu core.

Yeah most of those are already used, I'm just a lazy guy . . .

Checked a few other threads and it seems the VF1 SHOULD be more than capable of cooling down the X1900XT and there were a few posts I saw in which load temps dropped as much as 15C below the stock cooler, so now I'm thoroughly stumped on what could have happened.

Well I was beginning to suspect the fan and I was right, the fan that came with the VF1 Plus didn't seem to be blowing much air across the card so I rigged up a 120mm fan to blow air across the card and I'm getting good temps and idling at 40C instead of of 58C with the crossflow fan. Now I just need to find a way to cool the voltage regulators more since they get very hot . . .

I've got an accelero X2 it works great.

It's all about the Zalman VF900-Cu, get one!

Can someone tell what's the highest core voltage I should set safely with the stock cooler? Currently I'm running 1.475v and I can't get it stable at much beyond 710 MHz core.
