I need suggestions on how to cool Crossfired 4850's on a EP45-UD3P?
I have an upper 120mm Front, lower 80mm front case fans, with another 80mm central case fan and a 120mm rear exhaust fan.
My card temps are way high, idling at around 60* and about 80* during load.

My budget is only in the double digits. I want to have temps that do not exceed 60* while not being too loud.

Your temps are actually fine, nothing to worry about.

You can always turn the fan speed up with Riva Tuner or CCC.

If not, then a couple of Thermaltake Du Orbs would do

80C is fine for a 4850 on load, I've run mine for hours without even a hiccup, going to liquid cool them later, but thats going to require a huge upgrade on my part.

Turn the fan speed up via CCC, i find 65% is a good place for noise/cooling

yea, like people above stated, 80C is fine, what i did sometime ago was i modded my case to fit a acrylic window on the side panel and then installed a 120mm as an exhaust, and it blew hot air most of the times, brought my 8800gt temps down by 12 degrees and then i went and got a twin turbo, which is irrelevant here. but yea 80c is fine.
