goffer Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 HD 4850 512MB 256-bit got my grahpics card w00t w00t nice... it certainly is a beast for the price... did you OC it at all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goffer Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 how many slots does it takes the artic cooler? it covers up one miniPCI slot on mine, with fans... i replaced the 2 80mm fans with a 120mm that blows air onto the GPU and RAM chips, 2 total slots.... only downside besides losing PCI is if i want to run crossfire I'm going to have to cut it up to fit the connector between the cards. i highly commend grabbing one though.... make sure it's the rev2 though :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dild0 Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 how many slots does it takes the artic cooler? only downside besides losing PCI is if i want to run crossfire wtf,i read that with an artic cooler turbo you will actually halve(!!!) the temps. but,damn,i need to find a way to cool down that card without losing the crossfire thing.

Guest Iain C Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 mens purchases in this thread: cds vinyl dvds hardware car parts womens purchases in this thread: clothes cliches, yay! How's this then? The other day I picked up a pair of slim brown trousers and a shirt from H&M. I found a really nice pair of black canvas hi-tops in a charity shop for a fiver the other week, and a navy blue woolen tie in a different charity shop which is pretty fresh. I also just ordered a couple of shirts and a tie from American Apparel yesterday cause they've got a back-to-school discount for students! The shoes were an amazing find, they've barely been worn and must have cost at least £25 new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for cutting half the temps... depends on the card. Some cards have their fan running at 10% speed stock which in case if you dont fix the fan speed, yes you will get huge cooling improvements with this heatsink. I got mine to drop from 50c idle without fixing fan speed to mid 30s with after market heatsink and 120mm fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
