    Ye, if somebody have a termometer, i would apreciate to know the temp of Vram on this card. Since my GX740 has no Vram heatsinks or radiators i am really scratching my head why it does work just OK in my laptop. They just seem not to overheat (zalman NC300 used all the time).

    Should i add some heatsinks on it ???????????

    get some RAM Heatsink...it works! with a laptop stand you get even better cooling.
    But for the emergeny cooling of your GDDR5 the best is getting the little ones...about 5€~8$
