    Holy mother of 4890. fitting aftermarket cooler

    This thing is so noisy it's unbelievable (actually thought it was broken at one point). I've just ordered an "Arctic Cooling Accelero Twin Turbo Pro" and was wondering how difficult these things are to install? i've built a few computers so i'm not bad with the screw driver, but is it a case of old one off and new one in? hopefully won't destroy my whole card. Also if anyone else has this cooler, is it considerably quieter than the stock cooler?

    Thanks for any help!

    old one off, old thermal paste off, new thermal paste on, new cooler on. pretty easy stuff no more difficult than screwing in a mobo and putting a cooler on a cpu

    It just died. Dunno why though.
    City Link picked it up about 5 minutes ago to take it back to Scan.
    Asked for a refund cos the cooler is ridiculous.

    Yeah it's disturbing :/ hopefully a new cooler will do the trick since i don't like the 5770 at all and this is the probably the best option at the price range.
    I never make sense.

    The cooler you've ordered will definitely be good enough. Got some good reviews on the t'internet .
    Pretty crappy cooler considering it's a non-reference one. would be better to just use the reference.
