Will all this fit without snagging? (cooler related)

Does seem a bit hot. My 7800GT Idles at around 39 to 40C and goes up to 50-55 under load (depending on what my fan speed is set to for the VF700)

That said 68 is waaaaay too low to be concerned so long as its stable. These things are rated past 100 degrees.....

Very thin layer of thermal paste. I used a bit of plastic from the packaging to spread mine thinly. I didn't bother buying AS5 since we are only really talking about a few degrees difference.
 
I did find the install a bit fiddly as it was tricky to lower the VF700 down straight and do up the screws on either side, think it twisted around a bit whilst I was doing that.

Guess the main thing is I've not noticed a temperature drop from the stock (leadtek) heat sink, so somethings up.
