Have you thought about testing the HD 4850 with the Accelero S1 passive?Originally Posted by kiwi
I got a gigabyte 4850 card and run some 3dmarks to compare with 8800GT. I have also mounted Accelero S1 cooler and I was amazed by the temperature drop I saw. Basically stock cooler is a total crap and you can't really control fan because it runs only @ 10%. Anyway at full RPM it would be very loud.
Test system:
ATI HD4850 @ 700/1000, driver 8.6 with hotfix
NVidia 8800GT @ 700/1000, 175.16
DFI LP T3R, E8500 @ 4.4Ghz
2x1GB DDR3 7-6-6-18 @ 815Mhz
Zippy 700W PSU, cut down XP SP2
Results, I cant overclock 4850 more than 700 at the moment because there is no tool that supports it except CCC
...
HD4850 has a standard hole spacing, same as 8800gt and other so Accelero S1 fits just fine
Is that motherboard the DFI LANParty UT X48-T3R? If it is then it does have 2-way CrossFire at x16/x16 bandwidth.
Unless it's an optical illusion then it looks like installing a CrossFire setup with fans on the Accelero S1 wouldn't work. What do you think?
