im getting a 5770 , and i see 2 versions of the coolers.
one looks like a egg shaped cooler that doesnt go over the whole card.
and the other one looks like the bat mobile, fully covered.
which one is the best cooler?

the msi hawk is the best
the msi cooler is the best one man
the egg shapped one is ugly as heck but get the msi hawk or the msi cooler u can over clock like a beast with it

If you go CF, go batmobile I think. One card spewing heat into your case (Egg cooler does) is no big deal, but I wouldn't want 2 of them to do so. Also cools memory better

SIngle card, go egg. Its quieter and cools gpu better. Barely cools ram though, so you may want to buy ramsinks. (10$)

If you can swing it, buy the hawk. It's the only special edition 5770 that I fully 100% recommend. 180 at newegg last I checked though.

cant get that one. its over my budget.160 is my budget.
im not planning to go cf.... so egg it is.
also can i control the fan on the egg shaped one in CCC?

Then go egg cooler. If you want, you can even take the plastic "egg" off, looks way better, and the person who did it (can't remember who) got like 2C better temps too

egg is ugly lol go msi

He just said it is over his budget...

 

[tweaker123]

is it possible to control the fan on those 5770's in ccc?

 

[E_man]

SHould be. I control mine in MSI afterburner (awesome software, alot of the 5770 OCers use it, doesn't need to be an MSI card)

I'd get that one and some ramsinks and OC the heck out of it

 

[tweaker123]

is it loud when its on 100%?

 

[E_man]

It's quieter than the batmobile. The only 5770 I know is quieter than the egg is the MSI Hawk. Not sure how much quieter the egg is compared to the batmobile, but I keep mine a bit below 60% for the most part, that's kinda the pint where it goes from barely noticeable to definitely noticable. I can hear mine halfway across the house at 100% if I listen for it, but the v2 is quieter.

Edit: Fixed for clarity
