btw, did you have any problems with frozen heatpipe, Massman? :)

Actually, no. The heatload was high enough to keep the gpu temp at about 20°C (2v). I should have rubbed in the heatsink with a little bit of acetone, I think.

I have done the same thing with my 7300GT and then I had problems with condensation.

Very nice! Last night I was very close to sticking a metal (cooking) pot on my cpu for dice. :ocx48:

You can try the same stuff on a MB as well... together with Sam we did kind of similar on a Blitz Extreme except for any insulation :D The board shut down though soon after we covered the southbridge with DI as well :ocx25: (but came alive the next day)
