Two small notes:
1) If by any chance someone doesnt want to use the supplied cross blow fan, he/she can use two supplied nail like plastic studs (They are two small plastic nails that you can use to attach your fan without using screws) to attach on the fan assembly a normal axial fan. Just make sure the fan will have a 3 lead connector to fit on the speed selector.

Speed selector. You can attach any 12V fan that has the 3 pin connector.

2) If anyone has a case that has a side fan that is located over the VGA card, might run into a problem with the height of the whole thing because the fan is mounted on the side.

All systems go. Heatsink on the card, fan assembly... assembled.

Dont email me about my case please. I know that I suffer from the macaroni syndrome.

Performance

Card used: nVIDIA 6800GT, everything on stock speeds.

Ok. Weve looked at how to put the thing on the card. Now, lets see how it performs. For that lets have the help of RivaTuner and DR. Speed.
First lets run 3D Mark 2006 over a continuing loop of the standard tests with my current cooler, an nV Silencer 5 rev2.

Then the same tests looping with the VF1 Plus.
