Is that the ATI tool?

Have you checked to see what the gradients are with the fan for when it changes speed with Temperature?

I wouldnt see 73 as being horrendously bad for a card under full load.

What did you get with stock cooler?

Also, what is your case airflow like?

What about the difference in noise?

How much thermal paste are you using?

What case have you got?

If you want to get the best-

-Get some ARTIC SILVER 5, and use a tiny bit of that on the core. Clean both the core and the cooler well with alchaol.

-Put the fan at 12V

-Give the fan some nice cool air.

If that dont work then go for the VF900!
