so much for getting this cooler by Thursday, evga's shipping prices are outrageous for anything besides ups ground! And now i've lost the urge to get one. Oh well.

The size box/weight they come in can be shipped for under $8 anywhere in the country via USPS Priority mail 1-3 days.They really get you on shipping and (handling) with UPS.

That thing on the top of the card is for SLI or something...there are no plugs that came with it or are supplied by the PSU that come close to fitting it.
All this card does is push into the mobo..it has a plug coming from the fan that plugs right into it's own card.

Well, darn, I've gone and ordered one now.

Why would you be looking to get this for the GTS? The GTS's sink/fan is basically like this and has no heating issues. If anything you'd prob wanna look for an aftermarket one designed for the GTS.

OldGamer, i googled your card and it doesn't need an external power source. the PCI Express slot should be enough. Only the GTS 8600 needs an external power source

Yes, the notch on the top front of your videocard (as depicted below) is for SLI setups only. It's for connecting two (or more) videocards together, and doesn't connect to the power supply whatsoever.

I'm fine with my VF1000LED on my superclocked version. :)
Does 725mhz core and 1015mhz ram (ratio of shader unchanged). Didn't really test push it though, it could likely do more.

It's a nice initiative from eVGA to sell with a dual slot cooler though. I know other companies have been putting different coolers on the 8800GT's for a while, but I haven't seen one with a really "decent" cooler that took care of everything. (most had ram chips butt naked :S)
