I have noticed that the cooler is released but OCUK doesnt have it yet.
and its being sold on websites, i need this cooler badly

my card is starting to artifact when it goes over 80c in some games. even at 100% fanspeed i get graphical errors, no lockups, looks to me like memory is getting far to hot.

i have to come out of the game and wait 2 minutes untill the GPU cools down to 40c then i can go back into the game and the artifacts are gone for at least 30 minutes then there back LOL

i know the card isnt broken cause at default speeds there is no artifacts its only when overclocked but i know heat is the 100% cause of my issues.

so where is this UBER 4870X2 cooler, it should have been released by now.

I dont understand why this cooler is so god dam hard to get to retail outlets.
all there other coolers are everywhere.

but this cooler that is in UBER HIGH DEMAND is no where to be found apart from a few places in the USA that apparently now are OUT OF STOCK lol
 
ViRuS2k,

what's with the blaspheming :p

Take it easy, if the card isn't working properly at stock send it back, if the card doesn't overclock good enough for you send it back, if you feel you can't *mod* better cooling yourself or patiently wait for a 3rd party jobbie then send it back!

I'd love to have a play with a HD4870x2 even if it was only running at stock speeds, I can imagine that sucker runs hot, I read it in at least 10 reviews, everyone knows its hot so don't be acting like your suprised heh! :)

I do wish these manufactures would release the cards with nice coolers straight away, as it is they seem to get the stock cards to market then wait until nearly a fresh gen of tech is out and then release a pimping good revison of the old card, lol they know what their doing! ;)

Have to say, that cooler looks impressive, I bet thats gonna cool down your cards tons! . . . . It's not so bad you have to wait a while as it will give you time to save, that thing is gonna be expensive, and the more you *plead* for it to be put on sale the higher the price will be! :p




 
Christ that's huge!

With heatsinks tho, the bigger the better. :cool:

Do you think they'll ever do a passive 4870x2 cooler? it idles at 80W which is crazy, so I somehow doubt it...
