...OCZ putting holes in the heat spreader only to be covered up in one spot by a big "Z"? Ummm, ok, just dont charge me $10 for that please.
The Gigabyte video with Zalman cooler is a terrific idea at least. I still find modern video card coolers to not be that much better than the old Geforce FX 5800 hairdryer.
definetly agree with the gigabyte comment.... I LOVE my Zalman 770ALCu, so quite and at full load, my temps are STILL lower than idle used to be with the factory HSF (MSI 6600GT) and it is overclocked from 500/1000 to 585/1200MHz... the only thing missing though is that there does not seem to be any heatsinks on the memory chips, which is really a huge part of the genious behind the Zalman cooler...
The holes in the OCZ heat spreader should do a better job. How much better? Who knows until a review is done.
The air in the pockets between chips will be able to escape and increased surface area of the heat spreader will considerably increase convection, i.e. heat dissipitation.

Lastly, I'm looking forward for the ATI AT8.
