Exclamation ASUS EAH 4870 DK third party cooling suggestions.

ok so i broke the screws on my ASUS EAH 4870 DK stock cooler when cleaning the sink of dust and putting new paste on.

currently i am holding the stock cooler in place with 2 screws and 2 zip ties.

i need a third party cooling solutions soon cuz i am a little uncomfortable with this setup.

i have done my own digging and research and i cannot find a good review on any cooler for my specific card. if i am correct my card uses a non reference board.

also after doing more digging i found that the vrms are a problem to cool. i can tell you right now i do not plan to overclock this guy too much as all my gaming needs are properly met.

what i do need is a good cooler that has room for future crossfire.

i am open to suggestions ppl.

also please note that i will be buying all my stuff from ncix.com since i already have about 200 bucks in credit.

Can vouch for this cooler - Has kept my 2 4870's nice and cool (54 under load max) and has seperate cooling for the VRM's

i thought the s1 and a 120mm fan was better?

anyways i will take the cooler under consideration. you think i should buy the enzotech low profile heatsinks? or do the ones that come with the cooler sufficient enough?
