Cooling 4850 without replacing cooler.

[ojrules]

I dont particularly want to take the existing cooler off my asus 4850 ( the ones with very poor cooling), however i dont particularly like having it so warm. Is there anyway i could hash something together to stick to the existing copper?- I already have an old slot blower beneath it, im just trying to find another way to cool my case...

i have an old cheap (one from ******s) version of this http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=SY-000-GE&groupid=701&catid=57&subcat=399..

could i just get that and replace and/or add it to my system ( i have a nzxt hush, and one graphics card) or would it be worth getting this : http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-219-LL&groupid=701&catid=57&subcat=399 .. seems a little pricy to me..

i have the same asus 4850 and temps were terrible, i put a accelero s1 onto it so its passive cooled nice and quiet and better temps than stock.

can pick them up for around same price as the lian-li slot blower ur looking at

how simple is it to add to it?, and although this is secondary, did it allow you to clock the card anymore?


i'm not overly bothered about temps; £20-£30 is a lot to spend on a card barely worth £60. Could i just get an antec spot cooler, and if i felt compelled, replace the thermal paste on th card?
