YES... and btw, your welcome for the info. (took a while to find the link(s) for you) Even though it is for the 7900 GTX. 7900GS should look prettty much the same except with single pipe.

at 1st i was getting about 6200 in 3dmark2005 unclocked nothing done was kinda disapointed so i decided to OC the bad boy after the 1.24v mod and atitool testing i got dailed at 9200 (650/1150)in 3dmarks but my temp was kinda high about 88-89c MAX so i backed off to 550/1100 and get a constant 87XX score. I do use the 130watt ac adap and also i artic sivler'd everything hehe. FANs are set to MAX all the time. and Idle now is at 46-49c and 83c MAX.
