Default Should I Buy The Artic Cooer For My 4870x2

I'm on the fence with this one. I can pre-order for around $76 and it will ship out August 4th. I game at 1920x1200. I hate how loud the stock cooler is when I game (At 70%). Should I pre-order it?

First of all, why are you posting your third topic about this cooler? why not just post in the same first topic or hell, even the second topic.

Anyways, I'd get it, but watch out when you install it, you could kill your card like how I told you mine got killed in your other topics.

I'd recommend you wait until they start shipping out the larger screws with it or ask them for the screws yourself.


Or buy a good pair of headphones for when you game, so you can crank the fan to 100% and not hear it + not have to worry about temps
