do you have a fan (or more that one) attached to the S1? did you stick with the preapplied TIM or did you remove it and apply your own? how's your case airflow? what about ambient room temps?

I have a single antec 120mm fan running 1000 rpm during the test. 1 - 120mm exaust, 1 - 120mm intake. 120mm on the powersupply and default mx2 compound on the sink. I am also running 700-1150 at default voltage gpu and memory. all fans run around 1000 rpm under load and 800 idle. Ambient temps around 77* f.
I'll take it apart in a few days to see if i can get better temps and a higher gpu clocks out of it.

You obviously have never loaded your card then. Try running Furmark and report back what load temps you get.

Well, my ambient is closer to 70F and my setup has two intakes that direct air right over the PCI-e/PCI slots.
I did have to remove the preapplied TIM as it was smudged up because someone/thing probably pressed against the plastic packaging too hard and ended up applying some OCZ Freeze stuff (was the cheapest stuff the local store had at the time as they were out of AS5, I'd heard some great things about the OCZ stuff so I went with it) however I doubt that's much of a factor as the MX-2 TIM that comes preapplied is also very good stuff, and I know it works perfectly fine considering my experience with my 8800GT.
Another thing I've noticed is that it can actually make a pretty big difference to make sure and have good airflow over all of the heat pipes, meaning two fans will provide for the best performance. I had 1 x 1600RPM S-Flex on it before, but with two 1200RPM fans the temps are actually going down... half an hour of furmark saw temps hovering in the 43C range

Who cares what Furmark says? If it doesn't got higher than 43C while gaming, who gives a shit? Benchmarks don't mean anything if you're simply trying to get games to run faster.

I e-mailed Artic Cooling about the Accellero TWIN TURBO or whatever the F it's called, and they said a mid-August US release.

I'll let everybody know how it works after I get it.

Far as I know it doesn't list the 4850 either - at least it didn't when I bought it But I can assure you it fits on the 4850 just dandy and I don't think there's a physical difference between the boards in terms of layout and hole placement.
