Nice cooler. Will most probably be more silent and effective than the stock ones.

They also have a LCS version: http://www.powercolor.com/Global/pro...ProductID=5372
This should be better for overclocking. |

Lets hope its better than the old hd4870 pcs+. It looks like the same cooler, just different color. I have one of those and had to rma the first i got after a week, the second is water-cooled now, the cooling wasn't that great to say the least and the factory overclock was way too much for it to handle.

I seem to get artifacts above 975MHz, might need more voltage, I'll do more testing but I want a better heat sink first. |

I can run 3dm06 @ 850 and vantage @ 890 core, but that's without voldmods, haven't tried with vmods yet.

950Mhz is good but many people are at 1Ghz now!
I have an Asus 4890 Tweak running 1Ghz Core and 1,150 (4600Mhz) Memory. V Core set @ 1.375. Ran Farcry2 and Crysis warhead for two hours each with no problems. Excellent card!

Is that heatsink just a little bit too big for it to remain a 2 slot solution? If it is that's pretty lame, considering how close it would be.

I have a PCS 4870, and the cooler is a standard 2 slot. The angled pictures are just causing an optical illusion.
