guess in the end we still need to wait for updated drivers
some said there is no issue with the CRT already, so i am wondering whether i should make my purchase or not

and for wierd reason it doesnt wanna run grid and 3dmark03...

i think it must be the driver fault..

anyway usualy how long do it take for ATI to release new Cat....

i tried both directions, the results were same.
but when it was blowing from side, the motherboard's temperature would be lower a bit.

Basically the difference was removing the plastic cover? I'm using a CM690 with a fan (well... slow fan...) and if open up the plastic maybe can get better temp?

haha..
nice comparison between Turbo and GS.
btw, i at the models..

may i know 4870 GS temp at full load?
with stock fan speed.
thanks!

i dun think by open the plastic cover, the temperature would be better.
the fan i am using is from AllnGap, a Sanyo Denki at 7v.
is your fan a coolermaster fan?

Around October...

aiyoh bro fazco with lvd no problems.....nyone with crt mind to feedback ??

Hmm..not really fair comparison o?
Because i thought GS is to compare with ICEQ Turbo?

The only non reference 4870 HIS has now is the 4870 Turbo ma. Non reference versus non reference not fair? =/

haha, non-reference-clock-speed-4870-I vs non-reference-clock-speed-4870-II
however, non-reference-clock-speed-4870-I has onli a reference cooler while non-reference-clock-speed-4870-II has a 2 fans cooler.

Still both are non reference card, unless that is just a HIS 4870 then different story

well this is still a new born card, sure got problem de la... i wait till oct when gainward's card out in lowyat then i go purchase!!! cant wait, too bad i no credit card or paypal acc... if not i book with netraid already...

Celciuz, I did some mods of my own



And I ran Video Card Stability Test for 831 minutes. Full load stayed at 65-66C.

Idle.... not very impressive maybe cause I did something extra; I removed the heatsink of my 4850 GS and applied new thermal paste; Tuniq TX-2. I think upon mounting it back on, I screwed up by moving the heatsink abit too much. Smudged the thermal paste maybe.

Idles at 50 degrees after leaving my comp more than 12 hours on. I'm expecting a significant lower temp but mehhhh. Will try again next time.

Edited: Fan speed 60%

At last, I saw someone using Vantec PSU: desmond1310

600W with 75++% efficiency. Um. What's wrong with Vantec PSU anyway? I like the sleeves

hi bro, can i know the rocket v vga fan got LED lights r...???

desmond1310, hot ambient? idling at 50c seems a bit high for the 4850GS especially on 60% fan speed. Or you didn't mount back properly ka @@?
