Would i be able to take my Accelero that I have installed onto my X850 Pro and put it onto an HD4850? Would it cool better than the single slot cooler installed by default?

Only thing is I'd probably have to buy another set of ramsinks since I don't think the ones on the X850 would come off and go onto the HD4850 that well.

O yeah...I'd have to remember not to forget the thermal paste for the GPU lol...would OCZ Freeze work? I still have quite a bit of that left.

I wish I could just run out and buy the card today, but I don't know if I need a new PSU first, but judging by the comments in my earlier posts, I almost certainly do...

What is your PSU? Seems like you may not need a new one at all if it's over 400W.

Accelero S2 fits, but there will be clearance problems for the ram heatsinks, etc... so make sure you have enough room.
