WTA..how much can a 4850 512 MB GS be overclocked more ?

the difference reminds of some guys

who cut  me in a traffic jam in my lane

feel like going out and clapping to him..
yup ure 30 secs faster infront of me..

add a rm100 more and u get another 4850..thats how much more expensive it is compared to normal 4870x2
my opinion, get the normal 4870x2 then buy a good 3rd party heatsink for a lower price..

man that's expensive but for "guys" who have the money ok la. i cant say notin bout that..the card looks phenomenal physically though

the only good 3rd party heatsink for HD4870 x2 is watercooling block..

haha..whats with the hate?
some thermaltake items are functioning well..just dont like radiator and cpu block..the aquabay m5 pump and the reservoir are quite cool..works well..better than i get CM aquagate^_^
i and some people here starts with bigwater 735..upgrade bit by bit..
water cooling also have it own downside..
i have to mod a fan to cooldown my mobo..especially the northbridge area..

what do u mean by that??

Hello,

A friend of mine have bought Gainward 4850 Golden Sample edition, had it for more than 3 month already but now when I play games, the screen keep on blinking for every 5 second. is it becau of my power supply doesnt support anymore ?

PC spec

Amd Phenom 9550 2.20
Gigabyte GA-MA770-DS3
RAM 4GB
Window Vista
Gainward 4850GS
Gigabyte PSU 550.
Please do assist me.

P/s: he say one of the capasitor of the GC is already burn, but the GC still able to function and the problem exist long before the capasitor went kong.

hmm change ure pump dude and get better tubes
and heck while ure at it get better rads...
hell change the whole WC setup...

good WC setup will last forever..
ure case not consider a upgrade..

off topic ,
this is the first time I see a person who praise big water is sooo good.

2nd batch of production solved some of these prob..and also,it use 3/8 tube..yup,i do admit the flaws of the cpu waterblock,not doing its job superbly..but it is good for a budget watercooling setup..note the word budget

afterall i'm not planning to go hardcore on WC setup..i'm not saying TT is the best...but it works well for a budget watercooling setup..the pump are rated 500lph..if it is 400lph also ok already for me..not planning for power pump or super flow pump..

i have 2 TT cpu water block..1st production and 2nd production..i know the flaws of the 1st..yup..even on 500lph pump it show it is at its limit..leak a bit..but the 2nd production works better..way heavier than the 1st one..

i'm not comparing TT kits with some high end kits like swiftech,kailon or any high end WC setup la..i have done my research before deciding to buy an WC kit..i go for budget kit coz i just OC a bit..not like u OCs gurus...

and i'm more to solve what air cooling cannot provide me..stable cooling at 35C ambient temp(my room is super hot)..at my room temp,with aircooling my proc temp would jump to 50 at idle ..at stock speed...basic low-end WC kit can low my temp to 42c at idle and giving me room to OC a bit..

any1 wanna bash me more on wc kit?and plz..be gentle on words..this is a public forum..any bashing can take to PM

Exploding waterblock
Dube,do you know the 1st thing in pump is hmax,not l/hr??
If you build your rig on budget,get an air cooling,it will pwn tt

where u heard and see this fact? 

v1,v2..other hardware threads..that's reported, god knows how many more unreported ones..
