I like the low end coolers^^ They look so cute!

[FischOderAal]

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!

Yeah and look, they connected heatpipes through both heatsinks. To spread the heat Might have been a NOT so bad idea

also, both sides are now copper when only one was on the 3870x2

[zanzabar]

that 4650 looks better than the 4850, and i hpe that the all copper x2 stays

[Hornet331]

so the mcm rumor finally dies for the 4870X2.

4870X2 is the same as 3870X2, on board corssfire... micro stuttering gtfo...

mcm is not die. We don't know how much dies use the RV770

[Hornet331]

yeah right... now your telling me they are using 4 cores on the X2... you wish.

[RaZz!]

the plastic parts on ati's coolers always look so awfully cheap... but the actual cooling design looks really neat

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.

[Jowy Atreides]

tbh, the 3 series coolers looked better.
Those black stickers are horrible

Why do you keep hold on so thight to that stupid misinformation? You think it will be true if you keep saying it enough?

Erm... did you look at the pictures above? ...


On topic:
looks almost exactly the same as HD3xx0 series, but now in red-black
colour combo... now we're getting somewhere. Who cares if it doesn't
perform better when it looks better?
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.

Hopefully powercolour and club 3d will have their all copper coolers on the 4800's. I wont be buying any of these fugly coolers, I want the big copper ones.

thinking 4870X2 would be MCM is kinda being hopeful

but i thougt they would utilize a new system, for connecting the 2 chips, that the 2 GPU's could use their own ram, ar at least could communicate faster and better with eachother

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.

[Atal]

they look very nice however the 4870X2's cooler look identical to the prototype 3870X2's cooler :S

[Jimmer411]

Ehh cooler design dont matter if your on water

[[cTx] Nooc]

Who uses stock coolers anyway?

I do until I strap dry ice pots to them

[zerazax]

480sp in a single slot cooler is quite an achievement
