My stock cooler is a bit pants so looking to replace. So i have a choice of this week only bargains of:

Arctic Cooling Accelero Twin Turbo @ £21.14

Or

Thermalright T-Rad2 VGA Cooler @ £28.19

Now i know i need fans for the T-Rad2 but i have a few Akasa Amber 92mm or a 120mm i can use...

Anyone help?
 
Can highly recommend the TRad2. A few things to take into account. The heatsinks supplied do not cool the MOFSETS (VRMS) sufficently. I have opted to use the baseplate of the original cooler (remove from the card, and unscrew shroud and fan). This seems to work a treat,at idle my temps are around 35oC GPU core and 45oC VRM's. This is with two 92mm Zalmans. These on fullblast are nowhere near as loud as the stock on 100%. I would suggest 2x92mm fans over 1x120mm, as it won't be colling the full rad, and also using 120mm will not get air over the VRM's.
