Hey Guys!
I recently bought a XFX 4890 video card. It's maxed OC was 900/1090 at 34% fan speed. There was a defect on it so I return it. I now have a XT model coming my way in a couple of days and my goal will be to hit 1Ghz. Yes, I can up the fan speed to 60%+ but this sucker is loud. My rig is in our bedroom and the Mrs. hates the sound of jet engines. So that option is out of the question. Now the second option will be to go with an aftermarket cooler to cool this sucker down once it's voltage is raise.
Doing my research, I realize that the ZM-RHS90
would be too tall for an Arctic Cooling S1 VGA cooler.
So researching what cooler are compatible with my 4890 I found that the Scythe Musashi Dual Fan Graphics Card Cooler comes with all the necessary heatsinks. It also includes the VRM's/FET heatsink.
Would this be sufficient or should I go with an orb cooler?
