I have just received mine and installed it on my X1900XTX.

I just wanted to say what a fantastic piece of kit. Installation is a breeze.

From a manufacturing perspective its a well engineered product that greatly out performs the stock cooler in both cooling and noise departments.

My temps are now 37C idle and 62C during 3Dmark05.(Fan at max).
Stock they were 42C idle and 78C during 3Dmark05.

Both figures are with the core at 680 and ram at 800.

For info I used AS5 on the core.

Worthy of mention is that the fan needs to be powered from the motherboard and not the card. I also had to use the Fanmate2 controller as all of my available channels on the fan controller are being used.

I am well pleased with my latest purchase.

CPU temp has remained the same, my case temp has gone up 1C. Although I do have 3 panflow 120s and a Stealth shifting plenty of air in my case.

Noise is now quiet, the fan is comparable with the stealth fan in both tone and level of sound.

Its an awsome cooler. Don't hesitate to purchase until a cooler that expels the warm air outside of the case is produced.

I have my XTX running at 680 core and 800 on the ram.
I have not changed any voltages. Will your card not do the same at stock voltages?

Is you card an XTX or flashed XT?

Could the voltage increase be the source of your temp issues?

So can the X1900XTX owners confirm that these are quieter than the stock hsf?

Not looking to overclock, just want to keep it quiet :p

Yes much quieter than stock. Infact inaudiable if your case is on the floor 2 meters away.
