I've done it! Installed the Xigmatek Battle-Axe VD946 on my XFX GTX285. Idle temp: 39C & Load temp (while doing Crysis): 58C max. Price RM155 + RM8 shipping. The screws were a bit 'fragile', so have to do it very carefully and not to over-tighten them. The GPU cooler fits in well with the new GTX200 series additional bracket. Some modding have to be done to secure the chip heat sink though....by using the cable ties (see image). Took out the aluminum cover because it touches the motherboard SATA connectors. Because of that, you need to use all the spare anti-vibration rubbers provided to secure the fans. As for the fan control, I've hooked the fans up with the Zalman ZM-MFC1 Plus fan controller. Love this product! This post has been edited by nismailm: Aug 9 2009, 07:53 PM
