Poll:Cooler for 4890

[Shane]

Okay guys so im looking for a new cooler for my XFX 4890 gpu.

Ive looked around and it seems these are my choices...please vote on whice one you would choose!

(1)Akasa AK-VC05 Freedom Force

(2)Thermalright T-Rad2 VGA Cooler

(3)Arctic Cooling Accelero Twin Turbo

(4)Zalman VF1000-LED VGA Cooler
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HS-032-ZA&groupid=701&catid=57&subcat=787

So thats my choices for now,I have added "Other" just incase someone has a alternative to recommend :good:

Im pretty sure all these coolers will fit,I read somewhere that ATI/AMD wanted to keep the same board layout for the holes on the 4850/4870 and 4890?

Also whats VRM on a gpu? Is that the Voltage regulator?
I read somewhere that when you replace the heatsink on these card you have to watch those VRM temps or you can kill the card but not exactly sure what they mean.

The Zalman is the one I would go with the review on all them are good but I personally seen the Zalman on a 4870 and it was getting temps around 35C idle and 55C load very nice cooler.

[just a noob]

either the t-rad2, or go with funky, and get an ek fullcover block, don't get koolkrap if you do go for liquid

 

[funkysnair]

overclockers selection of 92mm fans seems kinda....slim, so added an ebuyer link aswell:
