Do the latest Tek9's fit on the HD4850's?

[Bitemarks666]

they should do as the 48xx mounting holes are the same as the 38xx series

thanks Vince, the pots are great. finally got a session in earlier this week with a pair of HD4850s, and even without thermal probes,
the pots were easy enough to handle just by feel. here is a photo of them in action and some results from my RE thread...

CPU at 6.15GHz on LN2 // CF 2 x ATIHD4850 at 1000MHz core+ on LN2
Intel X48 & 2x ATI HD4850 512MB DDR3 // CrossFire Cat 8.7 // TEK-9 4.0 SLIM:

01 = 114997 | CPU @ 615*10 6100MHz | GPU @ 1020MHz / 1075MHz @ 1.508v | ORB | HWBot.org
03 = 102558 | CPU @ 615*10 6150MHz | GPU @ 1050MHz / 1075MHz | ORB | HWBot.org
05 = 40110 | CPU @ 615*10 6150MHz | GPU @ 1000MHz / 1075MHz | ORB | HWBot.org

The culmination of all previous testing went down earlier this week with a 3 pot LN2 session on the HD4850s. I got my E8600
stable at 6150MHz for all benches and managed to improve a couple with some help from a pair of Tek-9 4.0 Slims on the
GPUs. I did not have thermal probes on the GPU pots so it was fly-by-wire and they could have been maximized quite a bit
more I believe. Either way, some CF HD4850 WRs fell and a solid chunk of HWBot points were earned from this very strong
setup...cracked the top 50

[dinos22]

that's phenomenal mate

[3oh6]

thanks Dino, but these pots make it so easy. i mean, come on, benching without even temp probes and not a single issue?!?!

the Tek-9 Slims have me itching to put in my order for an F1 EE

[Gautam]

Daamnn huge runs for the 4850's!!

[3oh6]

Daamnn huge runs for the 4850's!!

haha, this coming from the guy who just put 05 six feet under...thanks man and congrats again on some equally huge runs

[Ming@s]

Great photos that I loved.

Really sweet bro. Sorry it took me a month to catch up. Was wondering how your benching went. Any updates?
Need any 4870x2 brackets??
All the slim 4's now come with standardized mounting using stainless metric screws like Jodies for mounting bracket(s).

[3oh6]

thanks for the comments on the pics guys, the pots are beautiful. might get some pics with a white background
if/when i clean them up...but don't see the insulation coming off anytime soon
no worries Vince, i know as well as anyone what it is like being busy. good to see the new screws are in
"full production", they work great.

unfortunately i don't need 4870x2 brackets right now as i haven't been able to acquire one...yet (gotta be optimistic).
the pots are awesome, no updates with the HD4850s as those had to go back but i am prepping a single GTX280
and should have a pair of GTX 260s this weekend that will get treatment sometime. the only problem, is that i
don't have an SLI motherboard capable of high FSB so probably will be limited to 5.5~5.7GHz at the top end
the other issue i am having is LN2 as Praxair are starting to be jerks about transporting the dewar. they are
worried they could be liable should anything happen...well write up a waiver then boys of course,
they won't curb-side fill because i don't have a medical license, city bylaw, so i am looking into a trailer for my
bike as that would be an appropriate transport method, what a PITA. but for a $1/L i will do what it takes

i did just have some fun with a 7600GS the other week, just had it laying around and figured why not?

the little bastard held up crazy good under cold and benched for well over 8 hours. no temp probe and no
problems at all. these Tek9 4.0 Slims are just awesome to bench with, so easy to predict and manipulate.
The CPU was just on a weak single stage, not that this card needed much higher CPU clocks. Here are some
scores for those that might care...

my first full freeze over at the top of the pot

[MTP04]

Looking good as always Vince.


Maybe a stupid question but would the R600 be too hot for the slim?

[Quad-Damage]

How long does the ice last on the GPU cooler like time wise?

Also how long will it last on a CPU run?

4.0 has alot of punch for it's size /mass. When it gets really loaded up, it starts to feel like 3.0 unit. As long as you stay on top of the temps when your benching, the unit can do wonders. It works with SO MANY diff cards/scenarios....here is one of many
