Aftermarket cooling for 7950/7970 Cards - Where are the options?

[vesperwillow]

The Prolimatech Mk26 beat out the Accelero products, including the Hybrid closed loop liquid cooler, by 1-2* in 3 independent tests. The Accelero systems were my top choice until that point.

Larger dissipation area + larger fans.

Yeah, as I mentioned above, you can get a copper shim and use most any generic cooler if you need to. I think the reason a lot of 79xx coolers have been disappearing en-masse is because of people like me who have a bunch of cards with fans dying all at once.

I could keep shipping them back to MSI, but this is just the better option overall.

Also to the gent who mentioned high VRM temps with the liquid cooling, you have to use  heatsinks on them and the memory, and then provide a 120mm or larger fan to blow on them. That's how the Accelero hybrid works, and it does a fine job.
