What kind of cooler or "homemade" cooler for HD5770?

golemka · Nov 2, 2013

Hey! Im using this VGA but after 3 years the cooler is kinda noisy when its under load. Also I hear that the cooler is gritting hard. Tried WD40 , oil but nothing . The VGA is monthly cleaned by my hands , the thermal paste also . The temperatures are still OK , under load and idle too just the noise .
I was thinking to put 2 Noctua fans somehow on the heat spreader but Im out of ideas . Im looking for some advice/cooler or something usefull howto.
(HERE is the list what kind of cooler is available in my country)

WD40 is not a lubricant BTW. It's for REMOVING lubricant.
(there's also no reason to reinstall the thermal paste as that lasts for YEARS, and a fan should just be blown out lightly with compressed air every few months. You may have even DAMAGED the fan by cleaning it so much.)

Anyway, don't spend money trying to replace a cooler on such a cheap card. Just buy a new card for a little more.

You can get an HD7750 or HD7770 that also come with a free game.

I assume you have a reference design card.

You could just remove the plastic shroud and fan assembly, then just some some zip ties to jury rig some fans to the heatsink. That would be a cheap DIY solution.

photonboy :

Wanted to say that I dont want to buy any new card , this one isnt damaged just the fan what isnt the full card.
Financial problems for first , and for second a new card would be waste of money because im not using it for games .

Hello!

What kind of fan do you recommend from that site what I posted above?Here is a link about the available fans for cases/universal for my country. The problem is that the fan installed by gigabyte has only 3 screws and if I would buy any kind of new fan would not fit on the heat spreader . Also havent found any fan what can be drilled for the screws to fit on the heat spreader . Kinda lost
