I run mine with the 5v fanspeed and while our idle temp is similiar my load temp is much lower than yours.

The difference in noise is quite substantial as you said though =)

My room is kinda warm, actually, around 80F ambient temps. That would be about 27C. In a cold room you'd get better results.

vf700 FTW!

Question, how do you remove coolers? they're stuck together with thermal grease. Is there any good way to remove them?

And does that work for removing cpu's also?

Unless you already own a VF700 and plan to transfer it over. Accelero X2 FTW. $33 and much better cooling with complete silence. You also don't have to epoxy on memory chip coolers.

That said, the red Fatality fan just looks cool on the red ATI PCB (provided you have a case window).

Where can I find this for $33? when you add shipping on newegg it comes out to 38...

OP, did you use the vf700 alcu or cu? I think cu is the better one right?
