Story:
Shipped my water cooled computer from home to my dorm and due to the weight of all the water cooling parts, the motherboard broke. Because I have to ship it often, I need to switch to aircooling.
Problem:
My graphics card, the radeon HD 4870x2 had a waterblock installed and I no longer have the stock heatsink.
Question:
What VGA cooler is compatible with the HD 4870x2 and will give the best performance (and I understand it's only air cooling). Do coolers built for the 5970 (also a dual gpu card) work with the older 4870x2?
Thanks in advance for any and all help!
