x800xt w/Zalman VF700Cu

[sja360]

hi guys just got this cooler off a mate for my x800xt now i've fitted it and used some ac5, now does this sound right for temps -
idle - 26-30c
load - 46-47c (using ati tool doing heatup phase for like 1-2 minutes)
i'd have thought maybe 10c off the load temp but here we're talking nearer 25c! (it used to run 70c load and 38c idle roughly using ati tool)
anyone else got the same setup roughly?
p.s. the card isnt overclocked yet.

lol
i wont be volt modding this the cash flow is tight atm only being part-time while at college. out of pure interest though, would it be a bios flash or using some resistors or pencil mods that we're looking at for a volt mod?
