Hey Guys,

I was wondering if anyone had any info or know of any coolers for the 3870x2 card. I know of a couple of watercooling blocks, but I would like to avoid that for now.

Pls 'n Thx.

I'm not aware of anything to be honest.

Theres a few stock coolers that you might be able to get off the classifieds or fleabay....

Saw this one on XS.

Yea, I saw that but....I have the Asus model with the 2 fans. The thing is, I needed to have enough clearance to put the single 3870 under the x2. I did a homemade rig up for the time being. With the original cooling on the x2 the spacing between both cards caused the fans on the x2 to not draw enough air.

So with some improvision (sp?) I was able to make something to give the x2 sinks some air. It works for the time being till they have something that will work better. Temps currently hover around 75C under load with CoD4. Running Trifire, not really great improvements. We'll see if there is any improvements with the next set of drivers AMD releases.
