А какая температура была под нагрузкой и куда подключался вентилятор на кулере?

Сейчас стоит Accelero X2 на 1900XTX, для карты хорошо, а для остального может быть и получше, греет внутренности, несмотря на то, что снизу стоит blower. PCI-слотов больше нет, один занят звуковухой, два ругих охлаждением видяхи. Жить можно, но обратил внимание на этот кулер. Обзоры на зарубежных сайтах, но скудноватые:

Удалось найти ещё несколько, но они такие, что даже внимание не стоит обращать.

Смущает высокая медная фиговина, которая передаёт тепло от микросхемы к радиатору, это не тепловая трубка, как у Accelero или даже стокового, а прошлый век. С другой стороны, может, прокатит? Радиаторов для памяти, думаю, будет достаточно.

Могу лишь посоветовать на ощупь найти все что греется и обклеить радиаторами

I love the price versus performance of the 4850 video card. But, I hated the heat it was producing inside the case. After quite a bit of searching I purchased the Iceberq6 from Newegg. Total was $40.00 bucks with shipping charge. The reviews are pretty acurate as I found out. The replacement was very easy overall.

This alternative cooler does fit the 4850's and it pushes the graphics processor heat out the back of the case.

The following is what I did. I do not recommend you do this unless you are willing to void your warranty or just plain screw up (but, it was really easy).

Parts as received, except I used some Artic Silver 5 that was laying around. This is the only item I substituted in the Iceberq6 package.

Remove all the screws securing the reference cooler to the board. Unplug cooler fan from the board.

Wow, only a few months old and it's pretty filthy already.

Wipe the old thermal grease off of the graphics processor. Clean the memory with rubbing alcohol and a q-tip (not dripping wet). The pencil eraser did seem to get a film off the memory (don't use it on the graphics chip), a tip I got from a Youtube video.

This is the first problem with the kit, the double sided heatsink tape. Basically it's crap. You really have to make sure the memory is clean. Clean the heatsinks too. When you place them you have to hold firm pressure for 30-60 seconds. No peace of mind using this double sided heatsink tape! Get some thermal adhesive for the memory and be prepared to let it set up for 24 hours.


The kit only provides 8 heat sinks. If you do what I did your warranty is void. You can get some extra heatsinks or cut the end off of the refernce cooler.

Re-apply the thermal tape from the refernce cooler. Screw the heatsink on the video card or apply additional heat sinks. Note the direction of the applied heatsinks. I have (and recommend) a side case fan that helps cool the memory and voltage regulators.

Install the standoffs and washers supplied with the kit into the holes marked #3.

The base is less than perfect. It could be lapped for better heat transfer. The center pit is from the machining process. But it is quite a mass indeed. I was surprised by the weight.

#77

Apply a little less than a rice size dab of thermal compound onto a plastic bag or platic wrap on your finger and work it around on the graphics processor. Do not put on a thick layer.

#77
Mount the new cooler to the board. Tighten the mounting screws evenly so you don't damage your video card.

Make sure you did everything correctly and install it in your case. Unfortunately, the fan connector as supplied does not fit the video card. Use the adaptor provided to power the fan. Iceberq6 fan noise you ask? When plugged it it runs at 100% and is as quiet as the refernce cooler running at 30%-40%.

Pros:
-Very easy install
-Decent design
-Massive gpu heatsink
-Graphics processor heat is exhausted out of the case
-Does not interfere with Crossfire on my particular motherboard
-Surprised at how quiet it is

Cons:
-Thermal tape is junk, get thermal adhesive
-The gpu heatsink surface could be better, a lot better
-Takes up second pci slot, may be a problem for some
-Would probably benefit with a 7volt fan mod or fan controller
-Aluminum heatsinks painted copper color
-Did I mention the heatsink tape sucks?
