Vortexx Neo problems

Hi there, I recently bought a vortex neo for my 8800gt and within 5 mins of the pc turned on the graphics card let litle crackeling sounds and a smell of burning was around. i touched the graphics card and it stuck to me. Im positive the car was installed right as i followed the disgrams sent with it, all the little spungy pads on top of the memory chips and i had artic silver 3 here to i added some of that to the 8800 chip as you would to a cpu chip.

Due to this I put the standard cooler back on again and everything is running smooth, anyone know what the problem might be?

Yes it was, not very fast though, then again im not sure how fast its ment to go, it was plugged in properly and the blue light was showing. everything "seemed" fine.

Yea its a real shame because its a nice enough cooler, but seems its a tad to slow for the gfx card, so im on stock cooler here again and it seems to be keeping her cool enough. But I dont know what to do with the vortex now.
