Just got my Sapphire 9500np...havent had a chance to try the soft mod yet and I was wondering...How effective is the stock heatsink/fan? Looks a little too glam to be sufficient for an O/C'd card, but you tell me.
 
Well I got the softmod to work with it on and only 1.5v....I was going to replace it regardless of performance with my massive CAK38. It's decent, but I would put on a better HSF if it's not gonna cost you much. Just take any socket A HSF and drill holes through it and strap her on the card, use nylon bolts or washers for the back of the PCB and screw it down.
