What are your ideas on aftermarket coolers for the 4870? I know it voids the warranty but the current temps are idle at around 80 C which is a bit high for my liking. I have a list of all the compatible coolers for the 4870, but these 3 stood out.

According to a friend of mine (this guys got a pretty decent computer) the Thermaltake is the better one. Zalman looks like itll melt away the rest of your computer after awhile due to its entirely copper structure. I also went thru the reviews for the thermaltake and around 80% found it at least good (3 eggs or more)

Point: take the thermaltake, it seems like a good deal
