Installation of the drive went over flawlessly. Simply pop out the 2 screws holding the original heatsink onto the V3. Then, apply a little alcohol to the part in-between the heatsink and chipset. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes, to let the alcohol do it's thing. After that, you carefully pull off the heatsink and scrape off any residue using the supplied razorblade. Then dry it off, and snap the fan/heatsink's base onto the chip. Finally simply screw on the fan/heatsink to the base, and attach the powercord, your done!

The drivers that come with the slipstream drive offer a huge suite of overclocking options, all without having to hack into the systems registry. You can test a full range of overclocking options, and you don't have to worry about pushing it to high because if the card is unable to start, it will automatically revert back to it's original state, which is nice. The only problem I did have was that for each clock change you need to restart your computer, which becomes a pain after awhile. Next, on to the overclocking options.....
