 Good Cooling, but....
Reviewer: Jerry (15)
Install this on a HD3870 (Just one GPU, not the 3870X2). I mounted a fan right on top of this blowing down across the fins. The card idles at about 100-105F, which is down from about 135F with the stock air cooler at idle.
But, I had some installation issues. You get some little plastic spacers to hold the heat exchanger the correct amount off the card so it contacts the GPU correctly. With those installed only about 1/3 of the GPU was in contact with the copper pad. Card ran about 200F. I sanded the spacers down to get it to have full contact. Once this was done it worked well.
They also give you some plastic pieces to keep the weight of the heat exchanger from all being on the screws/card circuit board. These were too tall and had to be made a bit smaller as well.
In the end I am happy with the cooler and would get one again if I needed it.
 Picture is worth 1K words.

You think that looks big there? This heatsink is about 50% larger that my 8600GTS and nothing on it moves. It comes with a ton of parts to fit a lot of different models and it was a bit intimidating once I opened it. Be brave and marvel at the fact the the outer most fins are cold! Not ever warm from all the heat on the GPU. Oversize means that you need a longer goldfinger cable(the SLI cable) but to lose all the noise is worth the price.
