4850 cooling

[thkernlk]

Looked at cooling solutions from different manufacturers, but it strikes me when I see all the cooler is that the small chip that is beside the PCIe power connector is not chilled, but they are cooled by orginal fan, they do not have refrigeration?

It is gpu and memories that are most important to cool on a video card. All coolers not cooling volt regulators, etc.

Which cooler you looked at? Surely some of the cards are completely more or less, and it can be a fan or 2 that cools them down much of the rest of the card.

Accelero TWIN TURBO, has a Zalman VF900-Cu but none of them has a flange on volt regulators as that the original flange has.

Accelero Twin Turbo cools more than just gpu and memories on the card because the cooler has 2 80mm fans which sits on the flange part of the air which cools the flange passing through and can cool the card just like in the same way if you run an air cooler, which is bent over like thermalright xp90, 120 etc, so it helps to cool.

Zalman vf900 however, can not cool the whole card, but it will certainly cool the card much better than original cooler and it will not be damaged by that you do not cool the exact same things that you cool with the original cooler.

It is said that gpu and memories on a video card that is most important to cool. Then if you look at the quality of your original cooler that is there hd4850 will not be any big shots at all, and especially the part that will chill voltage regulators so it looks like NAgE cheap aluminum material solid colored to look like copper, so it is doing enough either to or from the fact.

Thanks for the responses, it was what I wanted to hear.
