Passive cooling for HD4870
Hello,
I was planning a new system soon to be acquired specifically for the studio. I spend very much time in my studio and as you can sit hours nothing (for example, someone is with you synth to balls) it seems useful to have a good video card so I can still game.
Now is the Power Color HD4870, stock speeds, nothing is overgeclocked.
And I want him chilling with Accelerometer S1 Rev. 2, this gives some problems in terms of heat.
Because the site Artic Cooling HD4870 supports it but I do not know or to guess. Or will I still need to take a passive HD4850 Gigabyte?
The rest of the set
Lian Li PC-8B (stock fans)
Lian Li C-02B CD / DVD Bezel
Amacrox Calmer Fanless 460 Watt 2
Asus M3A78
AMD X4 phenomene II 940 with Thermal Right Ultima-90 Cooler Master or Z-600 (I curtsy to the Thermal Right)
2x Kingston 4 GB PC 6400
Western Digital Caviar Blue 640 GB
NEC AD-7200 S-ATA
Power Color Radeon HD 4870 512 MB + Arctic Accelerometer S1 Rev. 2 Aluminum
or Gigabyte Radeon HD 4850 MC
So you get a better picture of the remaining heat that is created and the Airflow.
Re: Passive cooling for HD4870
Accelerometer which cools probably only good enough if you Airflow in good order, if you have a fan that blows directly on, or if you have a quiet fan to move. Got a little brackish Airflow and put no fan than he will during the game I think are hot.Over the processor cooler fit a Scythe MUGEN II ? They are very quiet, only very large. That he is not passive is not very much, over 17dB, it is not.
Re: Passive cooling for HD4870
Accelerometer That certainly gets the temperature down enough (to 50-55 stressed) but to recommend the turbo fan module, then it really 45 degrees max.
Re: Passive cooling for HD4870
With hd4870? It's quite a hot head so stressed at 45-50 without module or fan out, I strongly / Airflow plays a major role.
