Hi, I was wondering what would be a good aftermarket cooler for the hd 7970. I dont want to spend more than 100 u.s dollars. I would rather not go with the Accelero Xtreme 7970.
Thanks for the help I will be sure to select a best answer.

Which model do you have? Most gpu coolers only work on reference cards. I'm guessing you have a reference card or you wouldn't need aftermarket cooling, but I'd like to make sure.

It is a reference card made by Sapphire.

Other than the arctic, I'm not aware of many gpu coolers, but have you considered water cooling? There aren't many all in one systems either, and it would proably be over your budet. So probably a bad idea.

I almost went with water cooling but I found a good deal on a thermalright silver arrow for my cpu so decided to go with air.
