Great aftermarket cooler.Bit of a chore to install but keeps the card cool.Check out the thread (not for mid tower cases) as that there are pictures in the thread).This card can fit a mid tower, but check your lengths (I provided lengths) as that some towers may not have enough room.Here is some more infoi run a modded bios that had the fans run slightly more aggressively as that initially the card got so hot that you could burn yourself on itwith the modded bios, it was a tad louder, but gaming kept me in the high 60's to low 70's with furmark 80+ and climbingnow i rarely see it go over 60; even with furmark the temps were significantly platueaing at the lower to mid 60's - it was climbing by ever soooo slowlyso this is a great test - if a card can be kept at this range even with furmark - that is a great cooleras for sound - no more ramping of the fan with furmark or aggressive gpu intense gamesalthough i don't know how quiet it actually is due to the other fans in the casetemp difference in games - easily 15'Cbut again I still have the modded bios running and it possibly is running the fans more (I don't know for sure)

My computer use a EVGA GeForce GTX 260 Core 216 Superclocked. Stock or even more overclocked, the card easily get core temp over 70C. Changing the default speed fan from 40% to 100% can deal with that heat but at 100% the fan is very noisy.Now, with the Artic Cooling VGA cooler, i was not enabled to get the temps reaching the 50C. And as a bonus the huge fans (for the card) are silent.About the heatsinks for the ram and the vr, because they are sticked below the card (tower case) they do not transfer the heat and they blocking the air from the fans. Users are reported very high vr temps with these heatsinks. I did not install these heatsinks. I let the strong flow of air from the fans cooling the ram and vr. So far so good.

Aside from the price being a little too high this is a good gpu if you're a serious OC'er. Fairly easy to install but can be tricky if you don't understand what you're doing.
