Nice clocks , does it have the heat sink under the board as well , only my ram is very close to the gfx slot and i wondered how far the heat sink comes along the card measured from the front , dont suppose you could oblige with a dimension if it has one fitted that is ?helmutcheese said:

Yes rear of card has massive black low profile passive heatsink on it (heard rumours on eVGA forums that some came without so did 1 on a review site, not sure if the lower clocked one does have cooler or not but review site was 655mhz core model.
If I was to remove cooler, neatly apply Artic Silver 5 to core (as they always make a mess of the stock goo), and if ram height would allow same (due to fabric or foam pads) I could try overvolting by modding bios or if not work do hardmod, then it would get far higher, I read its needs 0.05 volts increase to get to 715mhz+
From the rear of card (HDD end on most Cases) the Black Passive heatsink on rear of card STOPS 95mm from very edge of cards PCB.

Hmm, it only adds 10-15mm on to top of card at that location, its also shouldered at Mobo PCI-E slot and stops about 20-15mm from Slot (ever more in you measured it to the cards PCI-E connection. so fitted you have about 30-40mm of no fins between mobo and it.
Hope I am explaining this ok as far easier to do in real life than type it here.

Are you sure thats the 655mhz core model as its supposed to have a large black passive heatsink on the rear of card, I read comments on eVGA forums some peeps got cards without heatsink on rear of cards.
I made sure OCUK looked in little clear window in box to see the heatsink (window where you match up warrenty stickers).
The cards run hot so thats why that model needs a cooler same as you sink the rear chips on your 7000 cards if you voltmod.

Which is yours, and if its really the 655mhz core model I would swap it for one with a heatsink as eVGA forums says it should have one, I know a few early samples sent to review sites had no heatsinks but the sites stated the retail ones would have the heatsinks.
Also reading the info on eVGA site or in booklet with card, eVGA DO NOT let you change the cooling without losing warrenty. (unless I was really tired and misread).
