Default Aftermarket Cooler for **XFX** Radeon 4890.. HELP
Hey guys can anyone tell me if they have seen or actually put a aftermarket cooler on the XFX** Radeon 4890? Im asking specifically about the XFX version as I have heard its nonreference...

I have also heard 1 case of a guy not being about to remove the sink from the vrm cooling plate...

http://www.overclock.net/ati-cooling...ml#post6656378

He had the Radeon XFX 4890 HD XXX

Im runningg the non XXX version so hoping I dont run into that same problem, but have no idea if I will or not?

So +Rep to anyone who can give me insight into this!

THX!

P.S. Plan on using the Scythe aftermarket VGA cooler.

I have not used an aftermarket cooler yet, so I can't tell you from first hand experience. However, I've been doing some research and I found this.

http://www.arctic-cooling.com/catalo...ath=2_&mID=101

It looks to be a decent cooler, and it works for the XFX 4890. Once again, this is what I've heard, I have not used it myself.

I'm using the Thermalright T-Rad2 GTX and the VRM-R2. They're a little on the thick side with a pair of 92x25mm fans, but if you get a Scythe 2000rpm Slip Stream Slim SY1212SL12H 120x12mm for the T-Rad2 (GTX), you should have no clearance issues. I do highly recommend getting the VRM-R1/R2 as I have shown on a previous thread, I got a 28C drop under load and a 12C drop at idle with an ambient of 26C.

EDIT: I have a better idea, if you plan on using the Scythe VGA cooler, forget the plate and use the thermalright VRM-R1 & -R2, they'll drop your load VRM temps nearly 30C when used with a decent 80x25mm fan.
