Heres few pics of 7000Al-Cu mounted on GTX: sorry for the bad guality and the card not being mounted on to a motherboard.

The GTX went from 540/1360 vf700cu(with cold air) to 560/1390 7000Al-Cu (with warm air). I dont really remember the vf700cu temperatures but they were something like 47c idle W/vf700cu and with 7000Al-Cu 40c idle with AS5 that hasnt settled yet.
I didnt check the stress temperatures, but there should be a huge difference.
Btw macci mounted a 7000Cu before but i lost the pictures and he doesnt have those on his website anymore.
And the mounting holes in 7000series zalman match the holes in GTX and X1800XT.

Theres still plenty of cooling area when abuut 20% of the finns are shortened. And thats just the one piece from the "L" shape. The postivite thing with the 7000 series is that theres matching mounting holes that the cards have. You dont have to be a McGyver to mount the cooler.
Some results on x1800xt + 7000al-cu:
The temperatures went way low and the noise too. With the stock hsf my idle temperatures were about 55c with stock 2D clocks and stock voltages.
Now with 7000Al-Cu stresstemperatures with 690/800 and 1.5v on the core are about 54-55c max
The clocks didnt go that much higher from before cus i got quite a crappy clocker.. with 765/900 i broke 11k in 3dmark05.

But why are you running 1,5V with 690/800?
I run 765/900? That is very impressive I think. What are your loadtemps at these speeds?
The load temps are the same as with 690/800 somewhere around 55-59c with 23c ambient. I use arctic silver 5 so maybe the temps get a little lower after some time.
I have zalman blue aluminium heatsinks on the mem glued with AS5.
The cooler looks A LOT better on the radeon than with the geforce. Unfortunately i dont have the camera here anymore. I should buy me one.
The temps are with the fan spinning @ full speed, but still its not as loud as the original hsf. I use it normally somewhere around 5volts and cant hear it through the case.
