Got this new heatsink from Zalman installed on my PNY 5900se looking to get my system as quiet as possible.
Its running without the option fan and current idle temp are in between 45-50c reported from the display setting tab.
The factor that will help your temps is how well you keep the case ventilated im running 2 low rpm fans one on the top and 1 on out back.
I ran Aquamark and 3dmark03 for about 20 mins and temp reading showed it at 70-75 it drops rapidly when you go back to 2d mode to get a reading so it not very accurate.
I?m very satisfied so far I need to do a longer gaming run to see how it does over time.
Very easy to install but also a pain in the A$$ mostly becuase of the amount of thermal paste needed.
(I used artic silver 5)
ohh and I left my stock ramsinks on.
let me know if you guys have any questions or want to see any pics.
