I strongly recommend trying this http://www.zalman.com/ENG/product/Product_Read.asp?idx=352


and btw the way I solved the cooling on my 4870 (they should be the same from this point of view) was removing the bloody fan from the card, leaving the red metal plate on, and then attaching Accelero S1 rev2. Works like a charm.

edit: damnit, DarkEgo beat me :) Damn links I skipped :)

Thumbs up for Zalman for opting a real thermal paste and not some crappy thermal insulation tape/pad as the TIM on that 4870/90 VRM sink.
