I have an 2GB XFX 6950 CNDC (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150550) that I got a few years ago but gets incredibly hot and loud (75C on idle at over 40% fan speed). Playing games with even low demand will make my card whir at full or near full speed.
I was leaning towards getting the Arctic Accelero Twin Turbo III (I'm almost certain it's compatible?), but I am open to other suggestions (it just needs to be cool and quiet).

Seeing how it is very new, I haven't seen many reviews on it and was wondering if anyone has had any experience with it (though I'm guessing it's basically the Twin Turbo II with the back panel heat sink and pre-applied glue).
Also, I am petrified of bricking my card and was wondering if anyone had a guide or tips as to where to apply heatsinks, spacers, orientation, etc.
Thanks!
