Cooler for ATI 5850

[sandeep]

Hi everyone

I'm going crossfire on a pair of 5850's one is a VTX 5850 and the other a Sapphire 5850. I know I should really buy the same brand of card but I figured they won't be different at all.

The VTX card I bought has a slightly damaged fan (the reason I got it for £80 ) so I'm looking for a cooler for it, nothing so crazy just something that'll work nicely.

I anyone can give a heads up on something decent and that'll do a good enough job as the stock cooler please let me know.

Thanks

Not sure if this one would work but it might be worth some research.

There are quite a few including Zalman VF-3000A, Thermalright Shaman, Arctic Accelero Twin Turbo and Extreme Plus..

Depends how much you want to spend and how quiet you want it really.

Thanks for the info guys

I've considered going for the Zalman VF-3000A, it looks quite cool and seems to be the best in a price to performance ratio.
