Faster than reference, cooler than reference, and quieter than reference, too?

30 x 90mm fans eh.. no wonder it runs cool

These coolers are so much better than the reference ones. Got me a Arctic Cooling Accelero Twin Turbo on a 4870. Temps are never a problem (i.e. 40's), even overclocked at full load in a Cosmos case which doesn't exactly have the best air flow.

The same problem remains. It takes 3 slots. I'm sure it's very good, but it's not for everyone when it's that deep. An Akasa Vortex is surely better. Yeah, the temps are a bit higher, but it's cheaper, and anyway if these chips are happily churning away at 70, 80 and 90c+, then temps aren't a problem, so I'm struggling to see the point in having something which takes away functionality in another area.

From my point of view these would only be worth the extra in a smaller form factor... but then the fact that they're huge defeats that purpose in itself.

I'll only use one installed card at a time, so size isn't really an issue. Not quite so good for dual cards.
