I also got a arctic cooling GPU cooler, but mine are Arctic Cooling Accelero XTREME 5870.

 

Just like you, i am very scare that i will damage my card, looking for the instruction over and over, starting to screw out the screw one by one, and install that cooler extremely carefully.

The computer produce a continuous short beep after the i turn on the computer, i thought that my card is dead, but fortunately, my card are still alive, that beep sound is because my ram is loose during the installation.

 

The card look like a litter bend after install that cooler, but the cooler is very good. The maximum temp of my card is 62C now when running furmark for 1 hour on a hot noon without air-con, while the stock cooler get 93C max.

I highly recommend this cooler for those who want to change GPU cooler.

This post has shed some light onto why my parents don't buy me computer parts :evilgrin:

did ur card bend?? :popcorn:

 

Nope , I think this is a new design cooler from AC , the heatpipe dont come close to the DVI ports and it doesnt bend like those pics around the net.

Ok got some cooling results :

Heaven Benchmark 1080p max AA normal tesselation at 950mhz and 1290mhz on 1200mV :

5970 1st Core : 70 degrees celsius

5970 2nd Core : 59

5870 3rd Core : 60

 

Im puzzled about 10 degrees between the cores on the 5970 , oh well.

Pretty good still, my old leafblower would be at 85 degrees 1st core and 75 degrees second core

 

Extra : VRM's are in high 70's which is pretty good .
