wat brand,how many year warranty and how much?

GeCube RM920

huh?
u miss one answer,how many years warranty?

notice you're using the S1.

are you using heatsinks over the five VRMs? refer here for VRM location.

now i'm not sure if temp #2 is for the VRMs, but i do know that they do get very hot, and need not only heatsinks but some airflow over them.

New sapphire 4850 owner here =)

What would be the best way to keep the card cool and not idle at 81*C? :S

Any recommended 3rd party cooler?
or
Is the fan speed mod enough to keep things cool?

I got the same problem, got HIS HD4850 recently and 80*C while idle....

Can burn an egg with that temperature.......

Nope, according to the creator of GPU-z, temp #2 is not related to VRM. All 3 on-die (silicon) is based inside the GPU itself.
Just make sure that the cooler is installed at the correct position.

Naked setup PowerColor HD4870 512MB DDR3 idle 41C gaming 60C & fan speed 40% in air con room .

Wah advertising
You guys can pick whether to buy a 3rd party cooler,or try the tips on 1st page.40% is acceptable noise ek?

oups, sry, i think is 1 year, i din ask properly

Wonder if anything i left in my driver setting, becos my AA can only set until 8x AA for most of the games compare to my previous Nvidia GC it can set until 16x AA. Any commend for the setting.

maybe this would help? im not sure..

edge detect rocks, i tried TF2 4xAA edge detect and the quality is really good, the edge is smooth enuf that u can really notice it.

proud owner of sapphire 4870.,the temp using TR HR-03GT at idle 44c and load 50c only..pair with 1800rpm fan..

Thanks bro, but i did set to edge but still when playing game like coh, the AA setting there is maximun 8x compare to last time when using Nvidia card can set to 16x, is it ATI driver like that.

yes, teh maximum is 8x, edge detect is like making it looks like 24x. Mean u only got 8x to select, but i think u off the one in COH and use the one on ATI CCC. If it wont works, maybe COH are using the different method on dealing with AA same as GRID where u cant set them at CCC.

Personally, I think 4xAA is already enough to fully reduce the aliasing..

Will try again later, anyway ever since i start playing with GC from NV 4400 to 8800 this is my first ATI GC thats why i am a bit blur regarding the setting. I still think i will be getting the setting of the NV from my present HD4870.

How bout new driver gaming? I hope mass effect AA AF problem solved.
