Default My T-RAD² Came!
So my T-RAD² finally arrived from Jab-Tech (They have such a great price on it). I also got three 92mm 55CFM Scythes to go with it (2 on the HS; 1 on my A900).



I spent an hour and a half setting it up and rewiring a part of my A900 and the temps are pretty astonishing, a sub 40c idle :



Here's my ambient temp:


I kind of kicked myself in the butt for not taking some 'before' temps to see how big of a change there would be (I was even too anxious to get it assembled), but I know that after playing WoW for a bout 10 minutes in a certain spot, my 4850 with the stock cooler on 100% would flatten off to about 70c. Look-ie here what I get now:



An ~25c load temp drop. x ∞^5

It sure was worth the $80.

I'll drop some pictures in a second, but WoW is the most GPU intensive game I have installed (it's either WoW or CSS).

4850's don't have VRM temp sensors, and I doubt many cards do.
