Best Aftermarket Cooler for 5870

[200mg]

Can anyone suggest a good cooler for the 5870, my xfx fan is starting to get REALLY loud

I wouldn't mind knowing about some alternatives myself. I have an HIS 5870 that seems louder lately.

Mine sounds like it's about to break, everyone seems to be pointing to the AC Accelero extreme

What I have read is don't go with the cheaper 2 fan accelero for the 5870 because it cools less than the factory fan.

I was hoping someone else had another suggestion besides the accelero

That AC Accelero extreme looks decent. I know in my case, water won't be an option.

A loud fan doesn't mean you need to replace it.
Give her a good dusting and see if that helps.

I have the accelero twin turbo and get 10 degrees C cooler while at 50% fan speed which I can barely here.

Already did that on mine. It was hardly dirty in all the occasions.
