Hey, I'm buying ZALMAN VF900 cooler for my graphics card. I'm wondering: should I use thermal grease that comes with it or AS5? It seems like ZALMAN makes good quality cooling products, so I'm not sure if I should trust their thermal grease or not.

Anybody have experience?

Nice... I actually have 7600gt (factory OC'd to 580). It currently runs at 51c, and I'm trying to get that temp down so I can OC it further, so I got ZALMAN kit w/ chipset heat spreaders.

I have tried OCing it to 630 w/ factory cooler, and I noticed a slight difference in Oblivion. But, after playing for a while temps shot up to 61c, which I'm not exactly comfortable with :D .

BTW, what do you have your clock speed set to?
