Installation -
The videocard we subjected to this benchmark was a PCI X 6600 from XFX. This was chosen for its availablity in the lab, not b/c it needed a quiter or cooler fan. The removal of the stock heatsink was very simple with two press pins and the clean up of the excess thermal grease.

The kit comes with the heat sink, fasteners and RAM heatsinks
The heatsink was a little bit of a juggle act at first, but once the mounting
screws were fastened the heatsink install was a snap. The one thing that was
very noticeable right off was the weight. The heat sink added a few ounces to
the already heavy video card, but as long as the card is seated well and the
locking screw or gate is in place, the weight won't be a problem.
