Hey guys,
my 4870x2 runs HOT. and that's the normal temps. Like 52 deg and 85 deg under load for GPU1 and GPU0 respectively, GPU0 is further from the fan so it gets hotter.

I really want an Accelero 4870x2 cooler with contact plates for both cores, a heatsink and 3 fans on top, it looks like a quality bit of kit. but i cant find one anywhere cos theyre old ish, well as old as the 4870x2 anyway.

Anyone recommend a good one for this card? or where i can get an accelero?
 
i also own a 4870X2 and a while back it was giving me weirdly high temperatures, tried reseating and reapplying thermal paste to no real avail, the biggest difference was when i added more case fans to improve airflow, that dropped temperatures significantly for me, how is your airflow?
 
great, antec p183 case, the HDDS and PSU isolated with its own front fan,
the main compartment has intake from another front 120mm fan and a top 120mm exhaust fan, as well as a 120mm case fan bolted to the radiator of my CPU waterblock, along with the corsair fan that came with it. plenty of cool air getting in, im not getting weirdly high temps they are about standard but i keep getting a bluescreen atikmpag.sys i think its drivers but maybe better cooling would help, and for when im recording i want quieter GPU fans if i can get them.
 
Watercooling already, then get a waterblock for it.

Accelero can be picked up new if you look around. (can't recommend any competitors sorry).
