After market cooler for the ATI 5850

[trt740]

my wife has my good camera and I will take more later






Running occt gpu test, full screen, the card maxes at 64c. I think thats pretty darn good considering that the stock cooler, which does a decent job, would sound like a jet engine to get these temps. I also found that plugging the 12v cord into a power cord makes the fan run at higher rpms and does even a better job but is still near silent. Also anyone who says these cards run cool is crazy the sotck cooler is just made decent and hits the target 80c or lower marke easily , but these card run hot even at 40nm. I just didn't like 77c every time I played a game. I also didn't like that past 33percent the fan got crazy loud on the stock cooler. However, just so we are clear a Dual Orb or some crap like that would be blazing hot on this gpu. Heck even this Accelero has it's hands full but does a good job. Don't assume that because it's 40nm it's cool running it's not.
