I like the low end coolers^^ They look so cute!
dang it. they slightly changed the PCB, one RAM-Chip isn't angled any more. some fullcover-waterblocks should fit though.
The x2 cooler looks MASSIVE! :eek:
Yeah and look, they connected heatpipes through both heatsinks. To spread the heat :up: Might have been a NOT so bad idea :DQuote:

so the mcm rumor finally dies for the 4870X2.
4870X2 is the same as 3870X2, on board corssfire... micro stuttering gtfo... :p:
mcm is not die. We don't know how much dies use the RV770 ;)Quote:

the plastic parts on ati's coolers always look so awfully cheap... but the actual cooling design looks really neat :up:
Even IF a single rv770 is an mcm, you still have to connect to of em on the x2 version, and this is what Hornet331 was referring to. But lets wait and see, maybe they fixed it.Quote:

perform better when it looks better? :rofl:
Seriously though, why not implement the vapour chamber on these, too?
Why push warm air to a dead end with the 4850 instead of expelling it
to the side? etc.
lol its carbon fiber! Its to lower the overall weight dont you know. :p:Quote:

thinking 4870X2 would be MCM is kinda being hopefulQuote:

I heard they called it 4690 at pczilla, and not 4650.
Doesn't look like anything really changed here.. hopefully this means the TDP won't be crazy versus RV670.
they look very nice however the 4870X2's cooler look identical to the prototype 3870X2's cooler :S
Ehh cooler design dont matter if your on water
Who uses stock coolers anyway?
I do until I strap dry ice pots to them :DQuote:
