    The 8800 has voltage regulators that need cooling and they arent covered by aftermarket coolers even though the coolers say they are compatible with the 8800. But there is a solution. Check out the review at HardOCP.com.

    You don't really need extra cooling on the voltage regulators with the DuOrb, since the fans will be taking the hot air off anyways. In fact, Gigabyte's 8800GT comes with a Zalman cooler, no VR sinks and no RAM heatsinks either, so don't sweat it. It's not necessary.

    glad to hear that cos i was quite worried that the RAM might get too hot. but with the duorb's double fans it should be ok...i guess
