[mr2sw21]

hi there

could you please let me know about hte LOAD temperatures with the new T-RAD2 on the mighty 4870 ? If OC too it could be awesome, thanks .

First I have 2 92 mm fan and during 3dmark06 the max temp it gets about 46c and idol is about 37c and room temp is about 12c to 14c

Thank you for hte response .
I meant , could you let me know about the whole temperatures in gpu-z while being in full load , for example with 20 min of crysis or 20 min of ATT (Ati Tray Tool rendering ) ? It could be great, check this out (in italian , if you've got questions just ask me) :

What fans were you useing on that accelero s1 and was it a rev 2?

Your memio temps seem pretty high for an accelero aswell.

Also I'm curious as to why you only tested it at high on 1280x1000 since thats not much for a 4870 to handle.

sorry man I just downloaded the ATI tool thing but I don't know how to use it.

k, but usually all the temps are within 10 degrees of each other with the accelero. Can't translate what fans your using...sorry don't speak any italian.

2x 92mm NANOXIA fans

sorry man I just downloaded the ATI tool thing but I don't know how to use it.

Here we go, how to use ATT :


Install it and follow this tiny guide .

Check the temps and let me know, thank you in advance

the HR-03GT would definitely out perform the t-rad2 with 2x 92mm fans.

I'm sorry to disappoint you but the hr03gt it's worse than this , on a 4870

thanks for the info so here we go. I tried about 15mins and the room temp is about 31c now so hot in the bay area. The GPU itself is ok to me but the RAM and voltage seem a bit high. So I stopped the test and see attach below picture worth thousand words.
