Hi i am wondering if i could fit my accelero s1 rev2 and a noctua 120mm fan (very good air pusher) and not have ram sinks on the 4870 1gb? i noticed
on my 4850 sapphire it has no ram sinks on it either.

clocks of my 48701gb are 770MHz core and 900MHz mamory

so i was wondering it it would work with no ramsinks and not overheat.
I don't have cash to buy ram sinks right now xD and I'm impatient.

thanks alot for your time and sorry the for typo's

as long as the vrms are covered your fine, my memory just gets warm to the touch, its good to use sinks but on the 4870 there not necessary

which ones are the VRM? i think my card allready has a copper bit that cover them at the end of the card closest to the 6 pins


i own a powercolor with their own made cooler

Looks like the Powercolor has the vrm's sinked.
That area is covered, correct?

yes those are coverd,

so my card should be fine with the VRM coverd and accelero s1 and rev2 and a noctua p12 120mm fan? with no ram sinks on.

nvm on the picture my ram temps used to go up to 80C

installed my acclero s1 rev 2 and only 2 heat sinks and the stock VRM heatsink on with a noctua 120mm fan, those temps looks fine to me

pyrophonic

here is a pci with ramsinks (cheap alaska ones) and another accelero on and tested on furmark




very very nice temps i think
