hey guys I was wondering if it would be a bad idea to pop open my 5870 and put soem of my new mx-3 (arctic cooling) I bought for my cpu? When i reapplied it to my cpu going from as-5 to mx-3 I used to idle at 46-47 and not iam at 37-39 ,and thats o/ced to 3.9. Not that my temps are bad on my 5870 but If i could get them even lower it would be a benifit ...no? Is it a big job tearing it appart?,has anyone done this on a 5850 or 5870 here yet? Or would you just leave it as it is?
