Cooling for 5870?

[siravarice]

Just noticed recently that my 5870 has been running a bit hot and was thinking of getting an aftermarket cooler for it as this one is pretty loud.

I don't have a fan blowing onto the side of the GPU, which I could do if I could be bothered to get a new one, but I'm waiting up on my loan to get a new case instead.

What coolers do people recommend? I was looking and the My linky Accelero Twin Turbo Pro from Arctic Cooling, mainly because I've used Arctic Cooling before and even though they are a pain to fit, I know they work well.

Would also get thermal paste glue for those pesky little heatsinks that dont have screws :/

I would look at the Xtreme plus fella,AA cooling in regards to VGA are epic i am shure there is a review on hear.

Yeah I used an Xtreme on my old 260, but it was simply too big for my liking, that's why I'm looking at this, it's about the right size for my future case.

the GTX one?

IMO i cant see it being that much different fella

It comes with preapplied MX-4 the greatest thermal pasty glue know to man =D And thermal pads, so no need for screws

Yeah you say that, the stuff fell right off my 260 after five minutes of it sitting there...

On a couple of reviews people said the shroud was a bit crap though, but it does look snazzy.

Gelid Solutions Icy Vision Rev.2 seems to have good reviews
