ok i've installed another intake fan on the side of the case but it didn't really work, 1C less tops. Its so weird. Its as if the card was meant for this temp :S

And yes the stock cooler on 100% is unbearable as for the dust, i checked and there was nothing there.

I would have done it like this, cuz we al know how hot the 4850 is why not helping it with that top case fan instead and letting the CPU having a straight line fan circulation.

I dont understand, how are you able to install a fan on the front, above the one installed initially.

4850 is a hot card and no matter what my ambit temps are 15C or 26C its always the same under load. Also no matter how i possiton the fan its same under load. You may ask why and its very simple. The cooler on 4850 is not good.

When discussing fan performance, size/brand don't matter. CFM is all that matters. Well maybe the P-Q curve too if you really want to know what's going on.

bump ^.^ I just cant believe that some people get like 60C at load with the stock cooler. xD ah well, if the card can take 120C at max, I gues i'm safe then. But still, it cant be good in the long term right?
