Hey guys,
I have not been one to use watercooling cos in the antec 900 case there is so much airflow that a decent air system will leave low temps.
Any who, that is not the point.
There are some custom water blocks that are coming out for the 4870 x2, but i cant manage to find any aircooling solutions... if any has please feel free to correct me and post a link
We all know how good the HR03-GT is at cooling the 4870,

So i was thinking, what if we use the hr03 and stick that on both cores of the x2 sorta side by side or facing opposite directions. A little bit of bending will be probably required but i dont think that can affect the thermal properties of the heat pipes.
Any suggestions on the wacky plan,
Or do you think it will be a bad idea and that i will destroy 2 pairs hr03 and an x2 for that matter
EDIT: Just checked the thermalright website, and there are 2 ways in mounting the hr03-gt so im pretty sure that they can both fit on the card
Regards,
Alex
