I'm now the proud owner of an Asus 4850 512mb (non-stock hsf) :) OC'd to 800/1028 and rock solid :)

The Asus Glaciator is a very good cooler. I have one on my HD3850, and it keeps it below 50C while under full load and overclocked. It idles around 35C.

I'm very impressed with this one, very quiet too (completely drowned out by my 120mm case fans on med).

How does that 3850 compare, clock speeds seem very similar?

This one is way overkill for me with my 21" CRT, max res is 1600x1200 and I don't play much new stuff atm, so everything except crysis is cpu bound I suspect...my stock q6600.

Nice to have power to burn.
