Do 5870 coolers fit 6950?

[calmnothing]

I'm looking for an aftermarket cooler that will fit my 6950. The stock cooler is just too hot on the auto setting, and it's too loud when cranked up. Any recommendations?

I came across this thing and was pretty curious. Didn't really read up on it though.

I decided on the Accelero Xtreme Plus. Found this review on the front page of [H] and it looked like it worked well for them. Plus I have proof it fits.

A 26 degree drop at load seems awesome.

Wow that is no short card and that cooler hangs off of te back quite a bit.

So I was going to go with the Accelero Xtreme Plus but realized that it won't fit in my case. I decided to go with the Accelero S1 Rev.2. So far I love it. Will do some more testing later.

I wonder how the AC Accelero Twin Turbo Pro would do, not nearly as long as the XTreme and only $30 at mwave.com.

I just strapped 2 120mm fans to my S1 and love the setup. I imagine the Twin Turbo Pro would be the same or probably lower since my fans are bigger. I was just able to get the S1 local as I am impatient.

Thought reviving this thread would be a better option then a new one.
Has anyone had experience mounting 5870 coolers on 6950's ? the Twin Accelero is my choice due to the large 3 fan cooler would probably come in contact with my HDD cage
