I would like to change the cooler on my ati4870 as it's really quite noisey.

The reviews that i've read on the Akasa one say that it's a bit small though and the reviews on teh HR-03 said that it's massive,

so any ideas or better choices?

thanks

why don't you sell the 4870 save the money on the cooler then you'd have £100 minimum to spend on a new card and 30 quid and get a vapour x 5770
 
as i'm either going to wait to see what the ati card prices come down to after nvidia cards are released,

or sell my card and my matrox dhtg and get a 5890anyhow - and use eyefinity.

basiclly it's a shortish term stop gap but i think that the ati cards will come down in a price a bit i've also read somwjhere on these boards that the 6XXX series cards aren't that far away either.
 
always that little Neo cooler which can be picked up for pocket money

although it glowing blue would annoy me (perfer red *_*)
