Looking for 3rd party air cooling for HD 4870x2

I look around for 3rd party air cooling solution for HD 4870x2 but got nothing but this interesting picture http://www.madshrimps.be/vbulletin/f22/ati-hd-4870x2-cooled-thermalright-v2-hr-03-a-57293/. Any recommendation?

haha ghetto mod, only after market cooling for 3870x2 and 4870x2 are water based.

I'd be afraid of warping the PCB with that much weight on there lol.

Can't really think of anything that will be compatable with the new 4800 series.

You could get 2 of those, though the temperature reduction is significantly smaller than a core-touching heatsink. http://www.thermalright.com/new_a_p...ler_hr11.htm?art=MTQyMywxLCxoZW50aHVzaWFzdA==

Not sure if 2 of them would fit though.

Please don't tell me you want to do that to your card.

Why not? As long as the weight is not an issue. :laugh:

Can't wait for this bad boy to come. Anyone interested in Visiontek hd 4850?

DuOrbs fit the 3870x2. Maybe they fit the 4870x2?

Visiontek released a modified version of it.

Not sure if thats what zithe was talking about though.

that's a non reference design, won't fit on the 4870x2

Yea I know, was just stating thats the closest to a DuOrb fitting on an X2 that I could find, unless zithe has some unknown pics from the deep dark reaches of teh interweb.

Go for It....It's how It performs......looking good should always come second for a part closed up In the case.

Been debating the same thing to my 9800gx2....dunno though.. :banghead:
