I recently desided to pick up the Iceberq 5 from work and try it out on my Gigabyte Radeon 9600 pro.

Before I was getting temps of 32C/33C at idle and 41C/42C under load.

After the install of the GPU cooler and ram chips. my temps are down to 26C/27C idle and 33C under load. Alomst a 10C difference under load! Alowing my to bump this card from it's stock 400/590 mhz to 550/640 mhz before seeing any artifacts.

The install of this card was a little ackward but didn't take to long. Would have been nice to have an extra pair of hands though.

Vantec makes some pretty decent heatsinks. Plus the stock cooling on 9600's was pretty bad.
