Just got my Gainward 4850.. man the card is so hot. Playing Dirt with 75% fan speed gets me 85 degree celsius ><"

@sleepwalker

Not posting some of your HD4870 pictures ?

are you sure your fan is setup correctly. I've heard people at 35% (see previous posts) have the heat rise no more than 60 degrees.

rock rock is doin postal business?
or can u tell me where is his shop perhaps.

His shop is Name RubynCom
His shop located at Imbi Plaza
He does postage deal.

strange, i think can be lower.

see, even on my casing running 22% fan speed also reach around 90c.

so with 75% i think it should be lesser unless your ambient is pretty warm and casing lacks airflow.

anyway i personally think the CM EX 500w is enough to run the HD4850 also. your experience with the PSU + the HD4850 confirms it. :

Attached thumbnail(s)

actually if you refer to Coolice's HD4850 review here on LYN or my review at goldfries.com , there's a link to the place that tells you how to do it.

all you need is a text editor.

That's pretty high temperature. How is the cooling inside your casing?

do understand that teh AC Accelero S1 is a PASSIVE cooler.

to make it active, you need to buy the TURBO MODULE.

Yea hor..So hot..75% still around 75C..
I guess your casing airflow sux.

maybe can post a pic of your casing....

Wonder if we could find this here? I like the low profile design. Not that the Accelero ain't nice or anything but it's too monsterous for my taste .

looks almost like Gainward's BLISS series heatsink. but with 2 fans and more fins area.

the Accelero S1 is nice but aiyoh want to put into the casing also take up so much space.

I got the side panel open

side panel open on a bad air-flow casing would result it better airflow but not necessarily good air-flow. try use table fan blow at it.

Update : Temp never got above 79c @ 75% with dirt.

1 x hd4850
3 x 500gb hdisk
1 x 160gb hdisk
