Mikhailtech has take a look at Albatron’s Geforce4 MX-440.
And as far as I tested, this HSF cools as good as it looks because even when in my room was almost 35C, the back of the GF4 MX440 chip didn't get very hot. This is due to good cooling, both the HSF and the paste that sits between it and the GPU, but also because the GF4 MX does not heat up much anyway. The card ships with 64MB DDR RAM made by Samsung and rated 5ns, that is 200MHz DDR or 400MHz effective, exactly as they are clocked. But there are some manufacturers that use 4ns RAM chips on their MX440 cards just for overlocking, and this is where Albatron lags. I was able to get the GPU chip up to 305MHz with stock cooling, from the 270MHz default, that is a 45MHz overclock, but the RAM couldn't take more than 460MHz, only 60MHz above the 400MHz default.
