4 the VGA he fitted a passive cooler (Thermalright Accelero S1)....Believe it or not, VGA temp went down 10C. From 49C to 39C.....under load it hits 50 - 55C.........

3.5 or 2.5k cant remember .....E6850 cant remember the temps...ill PM u.......But better than stock(not a lot but better)........
I will need to do a lot more than that though.
After a 2hours prime95 test, BIOS showed 71C (but I'm positive the BIOS is crazy), but that cleaning job lowered the temps by 25C! OMG!
