Zalman GPU Heatpipe  
The ATI 9800 requires adapter 'A' from the Zalman Heatsink kit. It comes w/ an 'A' and a 'B' adapter. Here it is w/ Arctic Silver 5 on the top of adapter 'A' and on one of the huge heatsinks. With the front and back of adapter 'A' in place (they just use screws and are self-attaching), the heatpipe itself is now in place w/ yet MORE Arctic Silver 5. Be prepared to use a lot of thermal paste on this project! Still thin coats (except the GPU, I put it on a bit thick there due to the height issues, but not TOO thick!) Viola, we're all done!Another shot of the 9800 w/ Zalman attached. It will take up your neighboring PCI slot.
