Seeing the thermal paste discussion since last week raises one basic question- did the gigadesigns card come with a heatsink installed? From Anthony's original post: "I didn't put any between the thermal transfer plate and the Cube's heatsink" I have only seen a photo of the Powerlogix unit & there seemed to be a heat sink installed. Giga's unit is different?
