Installation:

Now it’s time to install the Titan Eagle on to my Gainward 7800GT Golden Sample, first I removed the stock heatsink that came with the card.

Here I discovered that a portion of the fan on the stock heatsink was covered by one of the RAM sinks, if this has crippled the performance I don’t know but it certainly didn’t make me feel confident that my card was running the way it should be.

Then I continued by cleaning the surface of the GPU.

Next I started to put on the RAM sinks, as you can see they are a bit bigger then the memory chips on the 7800GT but that probably isn’t a negative aspecte. In theory that may dissipate the heat even better than if they would have been the same size as the chips.

And a shot with all the RAM sinks installed.

Then I fixed the bolts to the cooler in the corresponding holes.

I applied the Titan nano grease to the core in a thin even layer.

Then it was time to mount the Eagle onto the 7800GT, it took a bit of a “jiggle” to get the bolts through the holes but as you can see it’s a perfect fit.

And to finish it off I secured the cooler on to the card using a screwdriver.

Here you see the Titan Eagle mounted and ready for action, I think it looks very good but your opinions may vary.
The large span of the Eagles “wings” will help keeping the cards RAM and mosfets cool.
