MSI.

I have the Vistiontek, and it runs hot in the summer here. Warranty is nice, but heatsink is better

The MSI cooler is nice, but the stock cooler does a MUCH better job if you make necessary adjustments. One method you'll read about is adjusting the fan speed in CCC by creating a profile.

The method I like is bios tuning. With a good bios tweak, fan speed, clocks, and voltage adjust on the fly. It's worked wonders for a 4850 CF rig I have.

If you're not into bios tweaking, stick with the fan speed profile (software) method. If you want to play...

Bios updating method

Just spotted this. Now this is what I like to see, more power. Clocks above 700? I'm betting yes..

Palit 4850 dual slot cooler and more juice...

"Note the VRM section with 3-phase GPU and 1-Phase memory PWM. The HD4850 has a 8-pin PCIE connector. Differing from stock HD 4850's 6-pin connector, 8-pin PCIE connector can supply 150w more the 6-pin's 75w. The sufficient power supply is helpful for overclocking..."
