New Cooler for Graphics card

[JonoB]

I have a SAPPHIRE VAPOR-X HD 4850 (http://www.sapphiretech.com/presentation/product/?cid=1&gid=3&sgid=568&pid=221&psn=&lid=1&leg=0)

The fan has recently stopped working, and I'm wondering if its possible to completely replace the fan and/or cooling mechanism? Can I take it all off and put a custom cooler on?

Yes you can

It's only 1 fan though? so not sure.

Or this one. It's 3 fans

I have the Arctic Accelero II on my 7850 and it's amazing!

Awesome, thanks for the help! Current cooler has only 1 fan, so I'm sure it will be fine.

My 7850 only had one fan two, but have 3 now. My card was longer then yours. These coolers work very well. I would say because of the size of your card the 1 fan cooler would be best.

No prob mate

I wonder if its worth replacing the cooler on such an old card though, unless you can guarantee the cooler will be useful on a future card of course.

I wonder if the Blue Vortexx option would be the best option for this card given it's age.
