Well, in the old days when i had bought a new videocard, after a few months and when deemed necessary i always bought aftermarket coolers. Costs a lot but it is a hobby. :)
I can still remember buying the aluminum copper half circle zalman cooler for my nvidia card at the time and before that for my radeon card.

I was looking around for a future purchase that may be needed by the Q3 or Q4 for 2017 when my current cooling solution might no longer be adequate and see that arctic has some nice cooling solutions got the new GTX10xx series and RX4xx series.

I just wonder how those little heatsinks are going to fit on the vrm mosfets and inductors. I have no doubt they will fit onto the memory chips.

Zalman has stopped completely with gpu coolers i have noticed. :(
