Zalman VF900 and GPU VRM temps

[RyanF]

With my new VF900 on my 1900GT, the gpu ambient and core are at 35 and 39, repsectively. They go as high as 50 during gaming. The VRM temp is 60 at idle and 70 during gaming. Are these temps safe, and what would be a good solution to cool the voltage regulators on my card? Note: all temps provided by everest ultimate

1) Those are great temps for the core and ambient.
2) Those temps will not damage anything on the card.
3) There are Voltage regulator heatsinks, but they generally come with other VGA cooling. I suppose you could stick a RAM heatsink that you got with the VF900 onto the VRM...

While searching for an image to post to find out exactly what to to cover with heatsinks, my card doesnt have the row of IC's that most cards have, as pictured here:

Instead mine has a lot of empty area there, and a row of capacitors where the heatsink on the pictured card would be. I dont know what parts to throw a heatsink on because my card looks nothing like most of the pictures I see.

Here's the closest picture I can find of my card Image I don't have a camera, which would probably help this situation.

But then again, if those are really good temps for all parts of the card, I'm not entirely worried.

Thanks
