What happened to this card?

When I first built my current pc, I bought an Asus 4890, though it was one of the older versions before the cooling adjustments on this card.

I am looking to put a second in crossfire and would really like another Asus card as my current has been top notch!

I've never seen this card come back into stock and am wondering if it ever will, otherwise I'll begin looking at other 4890's.

On a final note cooling is a big issue with my second card due to it being in a crossfire build.

Thanks for any help in advance! Merry xmas =D

I've never seen this card come back into stock and am wondering if it ever will,

I see other places have the asus single fan & Dual fan versions in stock

I see, I'll have a look around. Thanks!

Would anyone recommend any other manufacturers in regards to rma's and just general build quality/cooling etc?

BFG are pretty good from what i hear

EDIT: Sorry I see that your after an AMD card - I guess theyre all pretty similar its just the length of the warrantee really

Thanks guys, it is indeed a shame about BFG.

That looks quite nice, the custom cooling looks good too. I was looking at the vapor x but this seems good also!

Looks like a good christmas for me =D

Asus's RMA sucks, if you need to send it back, they want to charge £18 for the privalage.
The fan on my 4670 died, so i wasnt going to pay 1/3rd of the value of the card to send it back for a new fan.
However, its an arctic cooling heatsink, so I emailed them, they pointed me to the fan needed on their webshop, and ordered a new one for less then $10 delivered.
Its just got an 80mm fan attatched by elastic band on it at the moment, and it seems much better anyway
