Fan speed at 40% is good enough for my 4870.. Idle at around 55c and load around 60c-65c.. OC at 780/1080..

Fan speed at 50% u can hear the noise d.. But still acceptable.. After that is juz annoying...

Loving every bit of it..

Ya better set 40% during idle, 50% while gaming.

The Sapphire Toxic got 8% of core clock and 10% of memory clock increase, yield an average of 10% increase of performance increase. Temperature drop 25% for idle and load condition. I wonder the price will have a premium of how much more compare to the reference card in Malaysia if it is going to come here.

Myself having the same fan speed setting but oc 790/1100 , temp slightly more than your idle 56c, load 76-77c, been using for 1 week for that setting n stable n fine.

u know u can get that kind of increase with ati overdrive in ccc also

Seriously, can we really able to differentiate the performance gain on current games from the OC?

I know CCC can make that kind of gain and lower temperature, but with that, the user no need to do any tweak on the card. Just curious the price. I just want to know is it worth the money than modify the cooler by myself.

i reckon the price for diy (fix an accelero + manual oc) the card urself compared to toxic (everything done for u) is definitely cheaper....usually the manufacturer would want to yield more profit if they intend to come out with oc version....that is where they have a competitive advantage over other manufacturers.....

wow now you people really put alot of effort on the temp issue..


mine just sit there left cold and being neglected www.....

like that really efficient? i think use 2x30mm fan suck them out at the vent is better lo.. i dunno one also la.

because this is cheap motion...take it from old psu.
may b 2 x 30mm fan is working well.
but this fan is free...so i don need buy another 2 fan.
somemore this fan working well....
hehe

Maybe i dont like the feel of like the fan is sucking nothing. U know what i mean rite? Like the vacuum cleaner u go stuck the mouth there. I dont like that feel. I will feel the whole fan is going to explode or spoilt lolz. See ur setup is nearly like that, only the top part is sucking something.

oic,because the 4870 so noisy when the fan speed 50%
so i set 40% plus the fan to get the same temp with 50%...

Another non reference sapphire 4850, short pcb version.

PowerColer ZeroTherm cooler nicer... added 2 more power phase

I wonder which brand will come out with zalman hsf... : D
