sapphire toxic come with zalman fan

is it Sapphire 4850 with the Zalman fan right? It's already available at LYP 2 weeks ago at RM750.

really? so they just change the fan only ? got oc? i think the price is quite reasonable...

then you people should really consider that one.. : D

Hey guys, i heard from a shop that the cheaper casings, when placed with a 4850, will have some of the harddrive bays blocked. He then recommended a cooler master casing.

Just wondering, is that true? Cos for me, i get a rm 90 casing can de. But i need atleast 3 hdd bays, so wana check it out with you ppl.

don't buy the small one la.. becoz the card is long..
but still got the gap there..

Yes the card quite long,it may block HDD bays,But there will be a way to put the HDD thou..

you should get coolermaster elite casings or mystique casings...this can easily fit the card with no other conflicts 2 other hardwares

Hi Guys,

Gainward will come out with 4 custom models:

1. Gainward 4850-512 Golden Sample (extreme OC) with Heatpipe and Fansink available sometime mid Aug.

2. Gainward 4850-512 cost effective with nice fansink.

3. Gainward 4870-512 Golden Sample with Heatpipe and Dual Fans, HDMI, 2 DVI and Display Port (1st for ATI).

4. Gainward 4870-1GB Golden Sample with Heatpipe and Dual Fans, HDMI, 2 DVI and Display Port (1st for ATI).

Both 4870 should be here by end Aug. Hold your purchases, have patience. Good things come to those who wait.

Dunno. I'm not into OC GPU, stock fan and card do just fine.

Cat 8.7 - CF still not scale good in vista?

I had that issue when I got it. Basically if i aligned my 4870 and harddisk... I think there is only like an inch to two inches of space left... and thats without the power and SATA cables!

So basically I had to improvise a bit the cable arrangements...etc... make sure they are further away from each other. If you using up to 3 hdd bays, I would suggest a bigger casing. I use two and it is pretty cramp already, putting airflow into consideration.

I forgot to mention i have to disable my CD-RW coz the IDE cable is getting in the way. No big lost, since i rarely use it and only use the DVDRW anyway.

ok this is how I cool my 4870 and just gotten a HX620 n a Samsung F1 1tb hdd, feel free to look. my symphony of night are about to begin : D

That GPU cooler is so big...eats up 3 slots?? What's your temp?

56'C idle. Never pass 70'C at gaming.

That is Thermalright HR-03GT and it suppose to perform better.. but my casing sucks coz very small... the air is not good.

I took the picture coz I was changing the psu.. otherwise I also don't bother to do this. : D

if that range i think better use stock cooler..

juine I can't see anything in your casing lol. So many stuff

Currently I am still using the stock cooling and up the fanspeed to 50%. I must admit, it's a bit loud. But overall, pretty good temperature still. Idles around 52 - 55 degrees. 60 plus when playing games and stuff.

you got see what is inside my casing? all the hardware produce heat and my casing space so small.. I can get that temp I oledi very happy.. sumore it run almost silent... not like the stockcooler, with all due respect... a rubbis or sampah!

anyway.. I reckon people wait for 3rd party card come out.. or change the god damn stockcooler if you cannot tahan the noise it make or else live with that.. whichever you like it's your choice : D
