I need a GPU to mainly play cs:go. I have an Ati HD5770, with just the radiator. The casing and fan is missing (no idea at all where they are, may have been thrown out). What would be the best way to get spare parts or construct my own cooler for it?

I looked up after market coolers and for 50gpb (on amazon.co.uk, i live in ireland) or even more I just dont see a point in getting one, when i could have a new decent card for twice the amount.

Anyways i tried gluing on a cpu fan (5mm i think) in the middle of the radiator, however there was tons of noise and vibrations produced, plus the card still overheated because it didn't cool the ram etc. So i had to get rid of that.

Anyone know where to find cheap replacement parts in ireland or with cheap shipping? Or is there anyway for me to construct my own cooler.

I can't help you with the location of spare parts other than lurk around ebay, but...
Does your case allow you to install a case fan in the side panel that will blow onto the gfx card? A 120mm or larger fan will do a fair job of cooling with less noise than that tiny fan you tried.

If you have a spare case fan or cpu fan laying around you can use zip-ties or insulated wire to mount it onto the heatsink/card. Might as well remove the heatsink, clean off the old TIM and apply new paste while you're at it. Purchasing a solution would be too expensive to be worth it imo.

It supports a 120mm and a 140mm fan to attach to the side panel. I thought of adding one but im not sure if its going to provide enough cooling.

Also i'm thinking of getting the ARCTIC Accelero L2. http://

Its only 17 pounds so about 21 euro, so it might be worth it. Apparently its pretty quite too, about silent, while giving a performance slightly better than a stock cooler.

That might be a satisfactory solution for the price. As long as it fits your card. I doubt the 92mm fan will provide any better cooling over the GPU than a 120mm/140mm side case fan would over the factory heat sink. But give it a try. You may want to use both.
