GPU cooling.

[Valhalla]

Hello,

I have a XFX 5870 video card. My freind recently got a water loop so he took of the coolers from his 7950s. Can I take the MSI 7950 cooler (its just a square, not the full length thing: http://tinyurl.com/7950-Cooler

I think this would work, please reassure me.

Also I'm doing this cause my 5870 cooler broke.

Thanks in advance.

I dont see why not, as long as the screws line up.

Oh, I'll fix it. Also is the 5870 hotter than the 7950?

7950 has a higher TDP, so no, theoretically...

Ah, so the one one in the newer pic should be good?

Theoretically, it should. And if your card is dead anyway, its worth a shot, right?
