ya i wonder why need to bother those 3rd parties cooler..
gpu nowadays not like those old days which OC ver will be fitted with some extra powerful stuff..
now is just plain same.. seriously with that temp.. we can achieve with just tweak the fan speed
-40% on idle
-50% on load
on the OC part.. with regard the same gpu like normal one.. so it can be reached with the same OC clock..
where got OCer so scare to OC, it's not fun afterall..
unless we just pretend to look cool...
choose easy OC/pricey way and want some insurance when the gpu died..
i wish to have non-reference design 4800 series oso.
why? becoz it looks cool to me.
i dun wana change the cooler, and in turn, the cooler blocks the possibility of crossfire.
btw, i just dun like the 4850 reference cooler, its just a personal preference.
