How to upgrade cooling on a 5700 ultra.

Well my case and cpu are cool, so tell me what needs to be done to keep my 5700 ultra cool?

Read all the guides on www.overclockers.com and the threads over in the Cooling forum.

I have some AS5....can this be used? What about the Thermaltake Giant 2, good or waste of money? Or just change the fan out for a something better & which one?

Anyone?

Don't know about the Gaint 2 but the as5 can be used.
I like my Zalman 80 hcp.
It does a nice job, quiet too....

The 5700 probably runs cool w/stock cooling as it is. Someone got 700+ core with stock cooling on one of those. Over 900mhz mem as well if im not mistaken.

Ok, I used a Tt ducting mod on the lower side case fan, it's now blowing directly on the VC. How do you get to the chip to put on AS5?

have to pull the pins out of the card. The things that are holding the heatsink on. Usually plastic . It works best for me just to pull the straight up rather than trying to break the back off. After that just clean and put as5 on then put new heatsink on. You have to use pins though to use as5 unless u engineer some other method. If the holes do not align with the heatsink u purchased you have to use thermal tape unless u think of another way.
