3rd Party Cooling Options

[RallyMaster]

Never have been a big fan of stock cooling on video cards because they're either too loud or don't cool effectively enough. Anything available that is known to fit a HD4850?

I plan on getting one sometime next week I think...

i think that should use the same center mount holes as the predicessor HD3850.

So, my recomendations are the simple ones.

Accelero S1, VF900, HR-05.

Accelero S1 if you have room for it
Takes up next 2 slots, 3 if you zip tie on a fan

If they really do use the same center holes, the Accelero S1 would be my cooler of choice. Anyone actually do that yet?

There are threads on XS about how Accelero dramatically reduced 4850 temps and AC's website claims compatibility with 4800 series.

OH SHIT. Looks like I have a CLEAR winnarrr!

And I just got my E7200 today in a combo deal with an ECS mobo from Fry's (mobo pretty much came free...after tax, the thing was still about a dollar cheaper than I would from buying online ~$129). Looks like I might get a Scythe Ninja 2 this time around...
