As tex mentioned it will not matter much on my card, but I think on newer cards it will. The newer Radeons and FX's are suposed to put out 50-75watts. No regular GPU block is going to keep the backside cool. Not even the best CPU blocks can keep the backside cool on CPU. I might forget the idea this round, but when I get my Radeon 9600 or better that will change. Not planing on a vid card upgrade anytime soon though. This little GF440 MX handles all my games peachy and I havn't even attempted overclocking it yet. Probably the best $40 I ever spent on a vid card. Once the 9600 drops under a $100 I will be eye balling it.
