Thermaltake CL-G0102 DuOrb VGA Cooler
The most powerful video cards generate plenty of heat. But Thermaltake’s new DuOrb CL-G0102 is equal to the task. With its innovative Dual-Orb design, all copper structure, and Scurve fan blade, the DuOrb CL-G0102 provides maximum cooling and whisper-quiet performance from a super-silent 80mm fan. The DuOrb’s two long-length heatpipes remove heat from the source from two different channels, doubling the efficiency of most of its competitors. And the DuOrb features a universal design, so you can use it for both NVIDIA and ATI VGA cards. Six blue LED lights give the DuOrb a gaming-ready modding look. Don’t leave your high-powered video card unprotected from potentially damaging heat. Order the Thermaltake Gl-G0102 DuOrb VGA cooler -- you’ll cool more and worry less.

Took my 8800GT from 62c idle to 41c! Unbelievable. Makes stock coolers look downright criminal.
It's noisy compared to my CNPS9700 CPU cooler (the product box states 21db, but this cannot be right -- its two fans, both at 2500rpm all the time), but tolerable in the grand scheme.
Only other downside: The fans don't connect to the card's fan header, so fan speed will register as zero rpm, and it will eat up a molex output from the PSU.
Installation is a bit wonky. The instructions specify that my card requires the
It did nothing

I don't know about the other reviews, but this made no difference in my 8800GTX running under full load. Disappointing.

Amazing cooler. I have an XFX Geforce 8800GT that runs 65C idle. When running the GPU Folding@Home application set to use 100% of the GPU, temps would rise above 100C! After installing this, I get 42C idle and 53C on full load running Folding@Home. The only problem is that you shouldn't use the provided instructions if you have an 8800GT as the heatsink will not properly go on. Instead use Google and search for an instructional how-to with this card. (I also used Arctic Silver 5 instead of the provided thermal grease.)As for the RAM sinks, you must push firmly on each one for about 20 seconds for them to take hold.

This product works with the 4850, and i recommend this vga cooler for anybody having the 4850 overheating problem. My old idl temp was 60-70 degrees celcius, now its at 40. My old load temps were 80-90 degrees celcius but now with this cooler it never goes past 50 for now. I only had it for 2 weeks. The only problem is the memory heatsinks. They keep falling off. But im not sure if they fell off inside the case, but they're ok. Overall this is a great product.

My system is Q6600, EVGA 780i mob, 8GB OCZ ram, EVGA 8800GT SLI, built in Ultra Aluminus case. My normal card temps were 123F Idle and 130F Load. After installing DuOrb & overclocking my cards, temps are now 98F Idle and 114F Load. ''Temps measured using CUPID Hardware Monitor'' That's a 25 degree drop in temp for my system and has made a huge difference in gaming, allowing me to overclock with stable settings. Installing DuOrbs was not bad at all, only problem was heat sinks were not sticking and occasionally would slide around a bit when working on card. I used Artic Silver on Heat Sinks and it worked like a charm, I also used it on GPU instead of Thermal Paste that came with. I'm very happy with the way this cooler performs and the overall look of it is pretty cool.
