Haven't leh, i just bought my 4850GS today. So got anyone to intro? I will post to garage sales later, full package, new sticker and HIS paper bag.
Anyway i just heard the news that HIS card now don't have stock and need to wait, so all the best to my sales.

If too low i better keep for my 2nd rig Anyway thanks for your kindness.
Ok back to topic, try to use the HWMonitor, you can download from here

Thanks pal, i hope so.

Pal, we get it 1st just we can enjoy it 1st.
I'm sure you can get it with the cheaper price later or maybe you can aim the 4870 with the 4850 price 6 month later.

Haha ya is true but the price for the 5000 series card also will be very expensive . So ur PSU so far so good?

Oh glad to heard that, my 4850GS so far so good. Now still running at home even i at office
Just stress it for 24/7 few days by open the HWMonitor, to see how is the stability of it.

Ya agree, but to pair with the bigger screen or dual LCD setup then better GC is needed.
So far i had pair the 4670turbo and 4850GS with my 24 inch LCD. I will say if just watching Anime, movie and some games, 4670 is able to handle it decently but not so well. But yesterday test with 4850GS, very satisfy with the performance and i think with this card i can proceed until next year games

How about Red Alert 3? BTW, you din play FIFA 09?

So fast in action, BTW how is RA3, is it nice? I think i will buy the ahhem version as the celebration of getting my new 4850GS.

Okok bryanyeo87 bro not more ahhem word from me, this is a taboo from now.
So far so good but not yet stress test in game, i only test in the 24/7 load. No restart and no any abnormal issues, power should be ok seem maintain at 12.04 - 12.34 at my +12v rail. But playing the NVIDIA PureVideo HD file is smooth compare to my 4670 Turbo last time, impressive.

Mine is 46c idle, full load should be 69c since so far only run the furmark stability test. The casing i use is Cooler Master Ammo 533 with the 2x 12cm fan as flow in and flow out.
So is it normal for my temperature?

Good luck pal, and hope you join us soon

Firstly, i wanna know is it u using the PSU same as mine? (Refer my sig) Cos i can run it well so far for 2 days 24/7.
Ok, if you budget really enough i will recommend the Corsair PSU, very power at single rail and even 450 watt is enough for this 4850GS baby but if for future upgrade or more component to add on, u might take at least 550 watt since now buy 450 watt seem not so worth.

Here is my rig:

Intel Pentium C2Q 9300
Cooler Master Hyper TX 2
ASUS P5KSE EPU
Kingston value 2x 1gb and 2x 512mb
Pioneer DVR-213LS DVD-RW and Lite-On DVD-RW ROM
Gainward 4850GS
Western Digital 640GB + Western Digital 250GB
Acbel 450watt True Power PSU
Creative Sound Blaster Live
Cooler Master Ammo 533 Casing with Cooler Master Musketeer
Cooler Master 2x 12cm LED fans
DELL 2409 LCD monitor
Altec Lansing VS2321 2.1 Speaker
PixelView TV card (Take out since no use )

I can start the PC so far so good lol, maybe as what 8tvt said i'm lucky. king99, you also using the Acbel PSU same like me and y_m rite?

Ya, but i feel the same with my old pentium D only

Haha i also din notice cos i just copy n paste my old post, should be Intel C2Q


@tech3910, @owikh84, @XiuKeong
Mm, cos still can use mah. Got feel with this Acbel PSU since i used it so long oledi, just kidding
Ya plan to upgrade the PSU also, dun mind go for the used or new. But not now, wait my 945G MATX motherboard back from RMA then i will build another HTPC for torrent rig. That time i can switch my old pentium D, ram, hard disk and PSU to there.

Ya i think should be scream, so do you PSU singing also? Plan to upgrade as well since urs +12v rail is lower than me.
(Maybe we can buy together, it will be more cheaper )

@serigala, so far so good so i dun think i need extra fan. 1stly, it will be noisy. 2ndly, it need to draw another juice from my PSU. That time my PSU is not screw, but dead.

@celciuz, like tat should can't sleep well at nite. Sofar i using 2x 12cm CM fan serve me well and quite silent.

Actually so far my 4850GS idle temperature is around 46-47c and full load is 69c, i think is fine even i saw a lot members is idle 40c and full load 60c with CM690.
Compare to my fren Sapphire Toxic, idle 50c and full load 78c is a lot a lot better even he use CM690. So thanks to the Gainward nickel plated heatsink, is better than the Zalman fan.

@jimmy_none, well i also think for the 600w or above since this is what popular now and a better future proof upgrade if $$ is no a issues
I will aim at Corsair and just go around the garage sales since can get what best offer.

Like tat ar, need to know more detail info from urs cos so far dun have ppl facing this issues.
Which monitor or LCD you r using? How many refresh rate u had been tried? And using DVI or VGA cable? Running those benchies (furmark, 3Dmark) also having same problem?

Ya agree with desmond1310 bro, i also suspect is the DVI or VGA problem with his monitor or LCD.
Anyway, you can try to troubleshoot with the steps he mentioned. And if can, please provide the info from my question so our members here can try our best to help.

Normally for LCD the refresh rate should at 60hz, so u try doing the stability test for 30 mins - 1 hour and see.
