4870 Accelero Twin Turbo fails!

Ah ok I see where it fails, my card is a Sapphire 1GB toxic, I have no part of the standard ATI stock cooler on my memory i have little grey chopper wich are coming with the card...

Thanks for your advices all of you, i think i've had the feedback i need, unless there is more i need to know...
What i will do is just wait, first. My gpu still hasn't crashed while gaming. The day it happens, i'll buy some mx-2 and put the stockplate back. What should i buy to stick the ramsinks-voltage regulators on other parts of my card, and what should i buy to put back my plate... it didn't seem to be thermal paste on the vrm/ramsinks...

most of the time they are glued in place with thermal tape, it's looking like foam tape for glasses but it's conductive. tie-wrap and the cooler should be with good thermal pasta enough to take all in a piece.

thermal tape, yes that's what was on the vrm. I do not think i need tie wraps : the cooler can be screwed right onto the pcb.

Ah iandh stuff, forgot about those. Probably work alright. It'll look better too

Yes Eagle i've seen that product and seems good. I might just hope my 4870 endures the vrm heat. If it doesn't, well then i'll try the plate trick. At least, my twin turbo works well for one thing : silence!!! No more plane engine when i turn on my cmputer!
