    Unfortunately no. Base dimensions are 25mm x 25mm x 4mm. Do you know of any copper sinks with these specs or close?

    It would appear that temps are now reduced 4/5 degrees when stressed with kombuster. More testing (overclocking, etc) is ongoing.

    GPU is set to overclock to c-725, m-925, s-1625 using nTune. Haven't tried to push any higher. Temps now hover around 74/75 degrees when stressed. Without sinks, temps were climbing over 80.

    The noise is most likely a worn out cooling fan. My first fan wore out within a month.
