    Hi,

    I was wondering if the heatsink off of my existing HD 5870 will fit the 6970??

    I also wondered if the PSU I got with the machine to support the single HD 5870 will be compatible with the HD 6970 in crossfire X?

    Lastly as my system only came with 1 GPU, are the heatsink assembly for the secondary GPU easily available through dell or alienware?

    Hope some one can help.
