Oic, wat im trying to show is 550w extreme is stable enough for 4850gs

but for not stressing the psu u can always go 650w extreme or Real power 520w

seriously i didnt did too many research for the PSU b4 i buy,all i did is testing out practically,so if their power output is same(RP vs extreme) i mind consider the RP too.

sometime not all the ayam brand cannot be use la,(everyone know Nike shoes is good,but tat doesnt means pasar malam shoes cannot be wear ma)

Talking about PSU

I am using Silverstone ST56F to power my 9600GT

I actually wanted to get ST50F only, ST56 seems a little overkill haha

psu thread ady..wahaha...

btw anyone here still using the normal 4850?

anyone changed the cooler?

I think many still using the reference card and some has changed the cooler (I read it at ATI 4000 Discussion thread)

Added on October 5, 2008, 12:51 pmCap ayam is not bad if you build cheaper PC (Without high end GC). And yeah, CD/DVD-ROM usually the first one kaput in most for my case. I already bought over 10 CD/DVD drives and most of it never reach 2 years old.

I wonder those cap ayam 500W can run HD4350.

more room for future upgrade, ST56F has good reputation around here
and i might be getting that ST50F, although it's not really ST50F, but the OEM of it, at cheaper price and with sleeving

all the CDROM i bought can last at least 3 years, LG and ASUS
in exception for the Lite-on which my brother took away together with the Pentium 3 rig, it died in 2 years iianm
if 500W cap ayam can run HD4670, HD4350 which is supposed to be lower end (i think?) should be able to run

i'm still using reference 4850. soon changing to new cooler ...Thermalright Trad2 speaking of cd rom, heck..my p3's cdrw still works till now...(using cap ayam psu ) go for it then, cyew86. but i seriously do recommend u getting a new psu if u're getting a new hardware or something..or not..maybe try huntkey? seems ok to me..cheap to for the price of it ..(normal usage should b good)

yup, may be getting it, i would certainly buy it now if i were in the shop now, but who knows, i always change my mind and for Huntkey, i believe that u have watched the video and read the review right?

i think for ODD it's better to stick to good brands like ASUS and LG (1st LG was in my first PC, 32X CDROM, still worked when i changed the rig), but i wouldn't recommend Lite-on and Samsung

Thermalright T-RAD² Ultimate MONSTER Slim VGA Cooler

this is wicked...too bad can't get in Malaysia yet... =.="

wonder how much would it be when it gets here :\/

Anyone re-apply 4850GS thermal paste to better one? Such as Artic Silver. I wonder it will improve the temp.

Confirmed will drop 1-2 C

Can anyone post a link about the new 4850 GS? Thanks, appreciate lots.

What is the link all about?

Better don't anything to the card
Gainward is very strict about RMA
see at their website first

Remove the cooler, apply the thermal paste & put it back this will void warranty meh?

I heard that the new one is nickel plated heatsink or smtg. This one is the old one.

@owikh84,

I just wanna see what other improvements they made to the card.

Ohh ok. So u're thinking to fill it in the "..." in ur suggy huh?

Void warranty
From the website

The card still new nothing to improve but

after 1 year the thermal paste gonna dried up

Er, I already bought the card, but just sent my card back to RMA. that's why / ... /

I'm eager to know what more changes they did too.

the new batch ATI4850GS is good in cooling with the stock heatsink...so you don't have to worry about the gc heat...
