looks pretty good to me, as long as the load temp is not more than 80, then it should be fine. but it really depends on what u expect from the akasa neo though. did u oc your 4870?

PHYSICAL DETAILS

There's no ignoring the size of the S1 — it's much larger than the card(s) it was designed to cool. Pictures just don't do it justice — when you actually have it in your hand and realize you can't wrap your fingers the entire width, you'll be in awe. But is the S1 too big? The height won't be an issue for most as it only obstructs one extra expansion slot. Lengthwise, the S1 measures 21.5cm (~8.5"), but it doesn't extend all the way the edge of the PCI covers — it sits about 1cm away. In effect it's about the same length as most modern high-end video cards. That leaves only the width, which extends past the edge of the video card by approximately 4cm. In my Antec Solo, the S1 is only a few millimeters longer than my Scythe Ninja and I reckon any case with a 120mm fan in the back will be wide enough to accomodate the S1. The area beteween the edge of the expansion cards and the side panel in most tower cases typically goes wasted so its only logical to take advantage of this space.

sommore testing reveals memory problem, was able to pass vantage with 800mhz GPU and 900 mem, scaling to 950 memory failed...

btw S1 already sold out in malaysia so long bro..totally cannot find already..fans are sold separately and is very expensive -.- just found out..moderno still selling!!! get it while it's available well yeah,uses 2 slot without fan. jz make sure a 120mm fan is blowing at it will do, or mounting a fan is better?

the heatsink alone already 2 slot, right?

the best method is to use digital multimeter. but obviously only if u know how to use it. or u can always use RBE to to check your vcore in the bios.

I heard Akasa Vortexx NEO is not good for 4870.
For some reasons the cooler is kinda worse than ATI ref cooler.

It did happen to my 5000+BE last time.

so going to low yat will be a waste tomorrow?? what cooler do they sell there???

can you guys recommend a cooler that I can buy. thanks.

try twin turbo.
i'll say best dual slot solution..................

two fans..isn't it loud??

Added on October 30, 2008, 8:35 pm-- nope, can't do, takes up 3 slots:

The only big drawback from Accelero Twin Turbo is that your video card will take up three slots on your computer, not only two. This may prevent you from installing a second video card on your system. We will talk more about this on the conclusions.

Should be 3 slot.
