4870 temps & manufacturer question

[cbupdd]

Hi all! I'm going to buy a 4870 card.. My question is:
What's the best stock cooler of the diferent ati brands? Is there any graphic comparison? I would like the one's that take the hot air by the pci slot.

Thanks for your time

There you go. That's a fair thread to answer your question.

Also, try searching for threads that might answer your questions before posting, we, the lazy people, will thank you a lot

Esop! XD

ok, thanks
it's the sapphire toxic 4870 a good choice? or it's better take one "normal" and then overclock it? I saw in some threads that the temperature is solved with some high speed fan.. so I don't matter now with that..

Yes the toxic is a good card. About the best cooler that comes on these things. I have the Visiontek HD 4870 and, with a serious overclock on it, it runs at 46c idle, 55-60c load w/the fanspeed @ 45% (not too bad). And the OC on the card is fine but if you want to do it yourself, it's not hard at all.
