ATI HD4850 heat problem

[JAMIN]

hi,
I got yesterday ATI HD4850 passive purchased,Now my problem: The temperature rises on the graphics card in games after about 10 minutes continuously at 110 ° C high, then Sense (PC is off) I have a 120mm front fan and 2 80mm PSU fan, the housing is open. Despite these alarming values and the disastrous results (the PC is off). In my cases are 25-26 ° C. Can that be? As a driver do I use the 9.2.

The best way would be to one or two fans directly on the passive cooler to install. A fan in the side panel could also bring something. Yes, then the card is no longer a purely passive cooling, but 80 or 120 fans are definitely quieter than the original.

The open enclosure is in your case quite well, but for a proper airflow in the cabinet rather than help.

To exchange the card, eg for a Gainward 4850 Golden Sample, which has a good cooling system, the fan is installed, manually set, very quietly.
