Installation

First things first when it comes to installing a GPU cooler is removing the stock one, so that's what I did. Out of pure curiosity I have a good look at the build quality of the stock heatsink. As you can see the Jetart cooler outstrips it in every way possible. I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw what seem to be pieces of sticky foam that are designed to transfer heat from the ram modules to the heatsink!

Then it was onto cleaning the core of the stock heatpaste; nice and shiny.

And on with the ram sinks...

Now it was time to put the cooler on. However just to let those that buy this cooler know, the documentation enclosed with this product that tells you what holes in the cooler to use and which mounting clip to use has some errors in it. For the x1900 series cards it says to use clip C and hole 4. However, you actually need to use clip B and hole 3.

NB: I have mentioned this error to Jetart and they assure me that they are in the process of changing the packaging to remove the errors.

Clip B in hole 3...

The cooler in all its glory

With the cooler attached it was time to get on with the testing.
