Apparantly it cools the lot yes. If you click on the Akasa link in my first post it's in the VGA section. 
*Note to self, read page before asking questions*
Yes i see it now, thanks. Looks the part. I'll wait for you to comment, before ordering

I bought it as my stock 3870 cooler blows hot air into my handbag. The 4870 stock cooler look great...Is it not?

It is very nice, but runs very warm. Currently running underclocked at 500/810 and it's at 60C on automatic fan profile.
This promises to go further. If the fan could spin faster and not be as loud, it would be great. Not sure if it is Aluminium or Copper cooler.

Looks like the Vortexx Neo is OK with most things, but the 4870 stock cooler is better than the Vortexx Neo. It's a good upgrade for the 4850 though.

The Fatal1ty FC-VC9 isn't listed on the Zalman site anymore, however the specs were the same as the VF900-Cu. This has the HD3850 and HD4850 listed as compatible but doesn't mention the HD3870 or HD4870...
