Default Changing stock fan/heatsink on Sapph 4770 HD in xfire

Hey all:

I just got my 2 Sapphire ATI 4770 HD and i was wondering which heatsink/fan combo could be used in a way that it will be possible to Xfire them with at least a little bit of space between them? I have an Assus ROG Crosshair III 790FX AM3 mobo but no cpu yet hehe (on monday) But i wish to order the heatsink/fan combos for the card beforehand, can someone offer suggestions on which will be best for my situation?


thank you all
JoseDevPR

I used a Mushashi on mine but I do not know if it will fit in Xfire..... I think that if it fits onto a 9600GT or something it will fit on the 4770. But I do not remember. The 4770 has 43mm mounting holes so any cooler that will fit that should work on it.

Dude. I had my card OC to 915/1000 on stock and was hitting 94C. I did the same with the mushashi and I was hitting 55C!!!!!! And idle went from 39C to a jaw dropping 28-30C!
