Hi guys, looking for advice.

Can't see any replacement cooler that specifically states it's compatible with 4890 are there any? If so what ones best (noise levels being the most important factor to me).

Also I've never changed a graphics cooler is it straight forward?

I've got a Sapphire 4890 which I'm happy with apart from the noise level when fan is over 30-40% when it gets a bit too loud for my taste.

Thanks for your help.

afaik the 4890 is the same spec as the 4870 re size and hole spacings, so any 4870 compatible would suffice, Id recomend the arctic cooling accelero twin turbo.
Fitting them is quite easy really, nothing to worry about, fairly simple, just follow the included instructions

Thanks for that I'll have alook for it, can't see it at OC

On Arctics web site it states it's compatible with 4890 however on a couple of sites that are stocking it the 4890 isn't mentioned - I assume it's because it's relatively new? Does anyone know if it definately works on 4890?

I'll send Arctics support a messeage to check but if anyone here knows for certain I'd be glad to hear from you

They probably just haven't updated the list yet, seeing as they've probably had the cooler in stock before the 4890 came.
I haven't bought it yet but I'm looking at the Vortexx VC03 for my 8800gt. Seems pretty decent.

Recieved my Arctic Cooling Twin Turbo yesterday and I'm very happy!

Easy to fit (first time I've changed gpu cooler) and what a differnce - temp down 15-20 and more important to me the noise is so much less I can even live with the fans at 100% so it looks like it's time to do some overclocking!!!

Why don't they put a decent cooler on to start with??

I have no idea!

My x1800xt sounded like my dyson
My 8800gts is silent.....

I have been put off ati cards as they are so whiney and loud.
I always prefer a quiet pc to one that has good cooling. Dropping temps cannot be seen/heard.

Ok, what are the before and after OC results.
