MSI GTX 580 Lightning @ Accelero XTREME Plus II ????

[treboRR]

Hello, i was thinking about changing my twinfroz III to Accelero XTREME Plus II and mby some enzotech heatsinks

But i can not find any real info about using other coolers with that card.

I was thinking mby the quickest and cheapest thing to make a better solution is to rip off the msi coolers cover and fans and put some monster 2x120mm fans on it it will be quieter and cooler...i think.... but other thing is the VRM cooling, i personally don't think that the original cooling for that card is enuff

Sry about my shitty english...i am from Estonia.

Card itself and the cooler:

The alu plate on the card covering the VRM is more then enough to cool them.

But i remember reading somewhere that the Artic cooler is to long to fit on the card.

Since twin frozr III 580 is non reference, there might be problems with fitting that accelero xtreme. Imho, even if you fit it, temps wouldn't drop. Twin frozr III is awesome, why would you want to change it in the first place? And don't worry about vrm's dude, they don't get hot that much. Original plate is more than enough.
