I am wondering if its worth replacing with this:

Or:

It seems better then the reference cooler - so I am curious if anyone knows..

I'd say try first with stock cooler. If you can adjust fan speed with catalysts as you should be able if you're using latest ones, you save quite bit. Mushashi is not best cooler. I thin Arctic Cooling TwinTurbo is better for 4870... But try with that stock cooling first.

It is really nice and quite up to about 40% and tolerable up to about 60%.
