D-tek FuZion gfx + HD4890 = true?

[Thewli]

As topic says, anybody knows if the (old) D-Tek FuZion-GFX fits on a ATI HD4890? It doesn't says anything about it at d-tek's homepage, but that could be because it's discontinued...

Yeah, I have one on my 4890 reference design.

Don't have better pics atm.
I use the baseplate from the original cooling to cool the VRMs. I don't dare overclocking with this base plate, because VRM temps will go easily over 80c when overclocked.
The Fuzion-GFX-rev1 works great, great temps, but I would suggest a Zalman ZM-RHS90 to cool the VRM's.

Okay, thanks!
I haven't bought the card yet, but now I know I don't have to upgrade the cooling. The base plate from your stock cooler, was it seperate from the core cooler or did you modify it? Maybe one could mount a seperate heatsink onto the baseplate over the VRM's? (Since the RHS-90 seems to be out of stock everywhere in Sweden.)

Edit: Do you cool the RAM's with the same stock-baseplate?

It looks like ownage has done the same thing as I. However, I left the fan on mine and it helps to keep the VRMs and memory a little cooler...


The Dtek GPU block will fit this card just fine.

Yes, I cool both the VRM and Rams with the base-plate. You can just unscrew the plastic cover, main heatsink and fan from the base-plate.
I don't care much for cooling the RAM, not really necessary I think.

I noticed your fuzion doesn't look the same as mine, is it still the same (first) revision? Mine looks like this :


Is the fan doing any good like that? Wouldn't it be better if you put a fan blowing down on the plate? Still, thanks for the inspiration.

He uses a Maze GPU block, but a Fuzion GFX will fit fine without any problems.

Oh, I see then =) Thanks for your help!
Hopefully the HD4890 will be a nice improvement against my 8800gts 640! Will be running on a 24" 1920x1200 soon =)

I have a Dtek Fuzion on my 4890 with the original base plate and it works a charm I've take of the original fan, put a heatsink on the PWM heatpipe and attached a 92mm to blow over the whole area, lovely and cool
