hmm, i'm not sure about nvidia card too. >_<

Here bro Ben,

See Gainward 4850 Golden Sample beating Sapphire 4850 Toxic!

http://www.netraid.com.my/Gainward-4850-Go...-4850-Toxic.pdf

not dare to oc my stock cooling hd4850, idle 59C, 50% fan,

59c idle is good bro, why scared ?

i mean an overclocked sapphire toxic 4850, from 1 review site, they pushed it to 775/1300+, should be around there.

775/1300+ is awesome

I wonder if we can use the bios for some voltage tweaks for more than 1.2v

maybe not that high, but around 750/1250+

i'm using a stock gigabyte 4850 oc to 690/1120...idle temp 57 load temp....105......wow imagine that....105....can boil the water alredi....@_@

At least you never smell something cooking on the card But seriously.. 105 isn't that... very risky and dangerous?

over 100c then u gonna cook ur card very very soon

ha....a bit worried la...but i boiled the card i still can rma...but the thought of not using the computer for the duration of rma...cant bear with it...later tonite gonna do some burn tests to see if the temp reported by furmark is accurate...

do the fan speed mod bro or you'll get your card fried in no time.

that's why i sold my g-byte 4850 and got myself the GS HD4850.

worries no more. XD

load 105??? wonder how ur case airflow there

LOL, its not that hard till u need to change a new card..

Temperature reported should be right.. since it is reading directly from the GC.

But for real... really want to RMA it ar.. What case anyways? Might be the case though.

Here's my oc


750 core gives me some random artifacts though and my mem is a bit of a chump.. cant oc very high on mem

fan is running 54%....load temp still 105...i cant imagine the temp if i put it to auto....fries my card instanntly....anyhow i'm using a raidmax sagitta casing...i dun think is the case airflow problem....must be the card la....hmmm...generating too much heat

wow cool core speed btw what software you use to check artifacts ?

Try 65%, that would be better.. I wonder why you card is so hot, try to improve your inside casing ventilation and open the case to see if the temp would be better.

probably the thermal paste not enuf or too many, lousy contact with GPU core la. U try go RMA, say temp over 105c, i think they can RMA for u if their side also high temp.
