hi, wish to change my pc very soon and mayb will get 1 4850
but i got some question to ask...
my psu is Acbel Intelligent Power Series 450W which bought 4 years ago. (Intel ATX 12V 2.0)
the psu included 1x 8Pin power connector and stated as Processor Power Connector.
there are no 6pin power connector for PCI-E.

Wonder i can use a 8 pin to 6 pin converter to power up a 4850?
if yes, where can i get the converter? today i go for lowyat and did not see something like this.

oh thanks brother. then i can just keep my psu and use the molex converter to power up 4850.
thanks a lot.

Hi, just get my new pc last saturday.
i'm using Gainward 4850.
Yesterday only finish setting up my OS.
This morning i wake up and install my 4850 driver with the CD come with package.
and the GPUZ show that my 4850 was in 71~74 temp. 1~5% fan speed.
i wonder using this fan speed can have this temp? btw, i'm in a air-cond room
for adjusting the fan speed issues, i've created a profile and edit the line
"manual" and "20" in the xml file.
then i go to overdrive and click activate my profile, but it seems like the fan speed still same, 1~5% speed =.=
what i've missing out there? someone help pls.

thanks~

hmm, i wonder is it the "manual" word?
capital letter or M??? i'm using small letter.

currently at office, need wait tonight only can try again.
i'll post out here if i still have the problem.

btw, can i have the lastest stable driver link for my babe 4850?
i think the cd come with the card is old version right?

ytd install the 8.6 hotfix driver.
change the stock fan speed to 38%
idle temp is 50~53 in room temp.
nice drop from stock temp at 72~75.

same my situation.
power saving function?

guys, after i install the hotfix 8.6 driver, it pop out a windows say i don't have .net framework 2.0.
why must install this and where can i get this?
this is not included in the hotfix driver?
