Krisnatharok posted : I don't know if the single fan solution for the 4870 would be sufficient, even though they claim it. I would go with the S1+ and the turbo module (twin fans). I used to have a 4870, and remember it being warm.

In the end, totally up to you though.

unfortunately I do not know the specs on it. the exact model of the card I believe is the ASUS EAH4870/HTDI/512. doing this from memory though. I really don't care how big a fan it has on it, it is pretty much the only expansion card in the computer, and the case gives it tons of breathing room.

I have also considered this : Arctic Cooling Accelero L2 PLUS

I'm also considering the Logisys you mentioned as well.

thank you for your input!

Krisnatharok posted : You could do a LOGISYS Computer VC4600 Hydro VGA Cooler for $61 or a ARCTIC COOLING ACCEL-S1-PLUS Accelero S1 PLUS VGA Cooler ($49) plus the ARCTIC COOLING ACCEL-S-TM Turbo Module Add-On Module ($15)--note that the addon fans are required on a 4870, they sell the cooler by itself for lower-end cards that can get by on passive cooling. Both are compatible with the Radeon 4870 reference model.
