for my new pc , going to buy a 5770 i think or maby 5750

But for the 5770 I have like 4 major cooler options.

Default stock cooler for example

Saphire vapor-x
http://www.alternate.be/html/product/pr ... tno=JCXSVB

egg-shaped cooler used by asus,msi,saphire,.....
http://www.alternate.be/html/productDet ... tno=JCXNV5
http://www.alternate.be/html/productDet ... tno=JCXVV6
etc...

Asus special design CuCore(with strange combination of backend panel)
http://www.alternate.be/html/product/pr ... tno=JCXVV7

I know that I should never beleive the vendors them self. Sometimes they even manage to produce a louder cooler then stock cooler. So if anyone know one defently not to pick , it would really appreciate it.

I have the Sapphire vapor-x version of the 5770 and I am very happy with it. It is quiet and properly idles down when not in 3d.

have a look at MSI 5770 HAWK as well

well depending on price guess , the hawk looks most impressive for quiet gaming. Petty no temperatures in the review. The hawk should run hotter with that small OC out of the box.

I never really liked msi and saphire as a brand but those bad experience have been a while ago.

But apperently some vapor-X 5770 report only 720 stream processes because they shipped with wrong bios.

And reading the thread the saphire rma guys were just clueless. So not much promise there

, since I do not feel like doing all the flashing crap to get me what i paid for.
