GruntvillE.com put up Zalman CNPS7700-Cu and VF700-ALCu Heatsink Reviews
The stock 9800XT cooler is not even in the ballpark! The VF700 just simply outclasses it.

For testing temperatures I kept the clock speeds at a level the stock cooling could handle with no artifacts. The CPU was set at 250fsb during all video card tests.
