They don't care as long as no vmod attached,no physical mod and damage then you can claim.

--hd4850 got after market heat sink?

--i cant find it in Ipoh... sob sob...

--my hd4850 is very hot... 80-90c.... 0o0o0o like gonna melt...

--did anyone sell after market.... help help...

Try this:

Akasa Vortexx Neo
http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=834330&hl=akasa

yeap.. very nice cooler..
but a bit pricey edy..

Akasa Vortexx Neo doesnt perform as good as artic twin turbo...but the blink blink nice la...lol

--can it fit with my Gigabyte HD4850?

--its look same with the original cooler... doesnt not look much different... so... im not expect much more different in temperature...

--anyone already try this heat sink???

--rm180??? hmmmm to much for me... i thought the price just around 50-100 only...

i heard i wont giv much noticeable improvement, just nice bling bling.
for RM 180, better get accelero s1 or twin turbo.

--hurm if the heat sink is about rm180-200.. i willing to sell my hd4850 for rm450 n then go for HIS HD4850 iceQ4 Turbo....

--heheh its the rite choice?

yeap.. thats a better choice..
and u wont void ur warranty

better go for gainward GS ver2 - most temp @ 60C

the temp you guys talking about is idle or at full load?

my 4850 at normal idle temp when not playing is around 55'C...
sounds ok right?

mine is load - yes big different
idle @ 45C

wah...idle at 45'C only ar? superb! but i think gainward's design quite good and they are able to keep the temp low, my previous gainward card also can reach about 45'C....

but now the asus wan cannot...

My 4850GS idles around 40C. Goes below 40C when I turn on the aircond. 700/1100 stock clock though.

--erk??? my idle temp is about 60-62'c

--load temp nearly 90'c

--i use my home fan to reduce it temp... huhuhu

^ You should search around the Gainward thread often to see the idling temp. Some guys were getting much better than mine without aircond!. Better get it quick cause apparently the price will be rising a little due to the currency exchange.

--erk... the price will be rising.... i thought the will price will be drop along with time...

-- 0o0o0o0 then my gigabyte is not a good enough brand.... 0o0o0o Ipoh is hard to find this Gainward brand....

bro...order from lowyat la... seriously i think gainward's cooling design is much better than any of the cards available out there....

a bit regret i did not buy back gainward 4850 when i downgraded from gainward 4870 to 4850....

--i know... but when i want to claim a waranty its hard for me...

--example i buy DVD Rom at Ipoh PC depot.... suddenly it got faulty and later i go to PC Depot and got a new one on da spot without waste my time... that wut i mean...

--huhuhu RrRrrR Ipoh market just sell Power Colour brand n some msi, asus.... sob sob.... need another brand must go lowyat or buy at lowyat.net... isk isk...
