Bought this thing to cool my graphics card, turns out it's only compatible with the PCI-E model, not the AGP model. I guess the 7800 GS has a completely unique board design, since after some research I can't even find a cooler listed as being compatible. All the same, I put some Arctic Silver on my card to replace the existing grease and I've got a 5 degree reduction in temperature across the board, so I'm not totally bummed about it.
I'm selling it on eBay, starting bid is $7.50, buy it now for $15.00. It costs $29.99 in stores.
Has never been applied to any board, basically completely brand new except that the top of the packaging is cut open.
As a special deal if someone from here buys it, I'll include the remainder of the Arctic Silver grease tube (enough for probably 20 of these jobs... I have no use for it now). It's top of the line stuff, only beat out by about half a degree by one other type of stuff that's way more expensive and not as safe IIRC.
Make sure that you have a compatible board. Check out the link in the ebay listing to the arctic cooling site to see a list of compatible boards (geforce 7800 PCI-E boards are apparently also compatible but not listed as such - in fact, that's why it's rev3 not rev2, IIRC).
