That GT20 is THE BEST value Ti-4200 card out at the moment - £105 squid will get it at the moment  :D   And it is overclockable like you would not believe.......  :lol:

I was messing around with coolbits the other night and tried benchmarking my Ti-500 (yeah I know, it's old and slow) on 3DMARK2001SE - a 5% increase in clock and ram speed gave me about a 7% increase in score on that benchmark.......but I'm going to wait to play real overclocking until I get some heavy duty graphics cooling going on in the case..........

Still think you should have gone for the Zalman, but I guess at least I'll be able to hear you coming  8O

The Zalman was a definate maybe but the Themaltek comes with a sensor that sits on the cpu/heatsink and with it set to auto will help keep the noise down. Am looking at a controller board for all the fans in the case so should be able to get a nice uniform temperature in there.
