2008-07-08 19:52:05 VGA cooling, aftermarket heatsinks.

Hey guys, so as everyone who got the new 4850/4870 noticed, these new babies heat up...
So im considering adding an aftermarket cooling solution, so far some choices, based on forums include the
thermalright HR-03 GT. with a 120 mm fan, or
Arctic Cooling S1 V2 with the turbo fans, or
Accelero TWIN TURBO.

Whats hard to say is, which of these is really the best, the only ones where there some raw numbers is the hr-03 GT ( http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=1... ). Anyone know which he would reccomend?
I like the way the TWIN TURBO looks like, but no clue if its any good besides the fact its quiet.

Help is much appreciated.

I don't think fans really matter, these heatsinks are very effienct, you just need to move the air away.

The HR-03 seems to have pretty thrilling (chilling?) performance. Looks a bit massive, but, unless you're running Crossfire, that's no big deal, right?

Exactly, it would be beyond budget to go crossfire, so i didnt mind.
I just ordered the hr-03 and a noctua 120mm fan.
