Default Best of the best air cooler for 4800 series
I have some cash remaining and my new card is quite hot, just by looking at this cooler I have a hunch its one of the best ones out there (also from reviews).

How close am I to being correct? I heard lots about this one and its good but I want the best

Looks like one heck of cooler if you ask me. I could really use some aftermarket cooling on my 3 vanilla 4890s, but I don't have any room for coolers that big

The Trad2 paired with high CFM 92mms, is currently the best GPU cooler available. I was actually surprised to see it beat the HR-03 GT, considering how much less girth the Trad2 has

I use the TRad2 on my 4870 1gb and I love it. I just threw on a cheapo 120mm fan so I bet it would be even better with two 92mm nice fans. It is also rather low profile so it works well.

Usually below 45C. That is with an ambient of around 18-20C. Also, I since I only have the one 120mm fan it could be better. Fully loaded for long periods of time will get it up to 55C but that rarely happens.

Right now I have it folding 24/7with the AC off since I'm out of town. It is at 60C with an ambient of probably around 30C.
