HD 5770 coolers

The first one is the better cooler the second is what is known as a leaf blower and I hate those things so noisy.
 
I had a HIS 5770 not the IceQ version - but bloody hell it was loud!
I'm so happy I've gotten rid of it..... I'm not sure what the XFX is like.
 
Personally I'd get a sapphire one like this can be had for £100, I have one and it's very quiet just set the fan to 45% and it wont go over 60c gaming load.

Leaf blowers are not quiet at all unless they are at very low rpm sorry but you must be used to different noise levels then.
 
The exhaust fan coolers are a lot less efficient at cooling the GPU and the fans need to run a lot louder to compensate for that.

Fansink coolers are vastly better at cooling the GPU. The old argument was that the exhaust coolers got rid of hot air and made the inside of your PC cooler, but its never been true.

Any decent case with good airflow can easily get rid of the heat from graphics cards. Fansink coolers are the better choice.
