Hi guys,could you please tell me a good aftermarket cooler for my XFX HD4870 1GB?The card gets a bit hot 60-64*C idle and 70-75*C underload with the fan @ 70%.Cheers.
 
Well.....lets say about 50 max.The noise doesn't bother me at all. I prefer my card to run cool than to be silent.

Ok.I decide to go for the Zalman VF1000-LED VGA Cooler together with the Zalman ZM-RHS1 Silent VGA RAM Heatsink Kit and an Akasa AK-274CB-4BLS 120mm Blue LED Fan for the side of my Antec as an intake fan.I really hope that this will get the temps down by atleast 10*C.

i have the same card but mine idle's around 48c and gets to around 63c when gaming, fan speed it set at 30%, whats the airflow like in your case?
 
I have an Antec 900 rear fan,top fan and 2 front fans for intake.I think that the cable management is done pretty well.Here's the pic.The second fan at the front blows air directly on the GPU theres nothing in the way to block the air.
