Title: Re: 5870 custom cooler Post by: shotgun on July 22, 2011, 05:42:41 PM I certainly wouldn't run any of my cards without heatsinks. My advice would be to put the stock cooler back on if your aftermarket one doesn't fit.

1) Waiting the 2-3 weeks for RMA 2) Having the RMA rejected 3) smelling the vrm's burning. Sounds sketchy if it doesn't fit right.

Problem solved.
