Even tho i could have saved 20 bucks by buying a sapphire one on Amazon i needed to have the Asus.

Do those overclock as much as the 79xx series? Looking forward to the benchmark results

This card should hit 1200 core

Need alittle help guys. Buying aftermarket cooler for it right off the bat.

Which one?

Arctic II

Or

The XTREME

Both have 5 heat pipes and a 20 dollar difference between the two

One says 250Watts, that would be the cooling power right? What value of wattage does the triple fan provide? I presume the higher one would be the better cooler.

Xtreme has 300W cooling power. I'm also buying it a future investment as the cooler can be used on many different cards

 

[joshhedge]

You're probably better off going with the Xtreme then, I'm sticking with my stock Twin Froze III when it arrives

Do you need to be concerned whether the aftermarket cooler will be able to cool the VRMs or other hot spots besides the GPU? It was a big issue with 5850 aftermarket coolers, but I'm not so sure about the 7850 because it seems to be less power hungry?

Arctic has it covered. Comes with VRM and Memory chip heatsinks. Arctic is the very best when it comes to aftermarket cooling

The turbo should be fine for a 7850. Extreme is overkill, but if using in the future it depends on how big a GPU you expect in the future.

Extreme will have an extreme overhang =P

When you put on whatever you get, PM me if you want to sell the stock cooler to offset some of the cost.

There is no such thing as overkill

If you want to push the clocks to that extent, you're better off on water.

We'll see. I do have an MCW82

I like it. Or you can do one of those ridiculous H60 on the GPU mods. Guys on OCN get good results off that.
