Awesome work and documentation! Now we need a before and after temperature comparison 😀

I don't have numbers, but before you could barely touch the heatsink after letting the Quake time demo run for a bit, now it's barely warm 😀 even the underside of the card is significantly cooler. I'll probably attach a thermocouple and get a few numbers at some point though!

On top of the heatsink at the die, ambient temp 71F

No Fans: 136F stable during GLQuake

Results!

I put this cooler from Gelid Solutions, and the voodoo heatsink keeps it cool. The back of the graphic no longer burns as much.
