I like the DuOrb because my computer has blue led fans and stuff so it will match. and I have a window on the side of my case.

Is there a big noise difference between the two?

And when I buy the cooler does it come with the little cooler thinks not sure what they are called, ramsinks?

i got the DuOrb for my 9800 gt works great. its easy to install and reliable.

Heres where i got mine.. DuOrb

But you can get it cheaper Here on newegg

i was thinking about getting one as well... But how much of an OC would i be able to get w/ out upping gpu voltages? i guess i need to look more into what the 4850 is capable of doing "safely".

I'm not sure but if anyone knows I would like to know how much of an overclock I could get when I get the DuOrb.

Wow I just did some testing for temps and I was just using the World of Warcraft start screen where you log on and it put my gpu under 100% load.

At idle 100% fanspeed 9,300 RPM ( ROFL ) the temp is around 49 Degrees.

At 100% load 100% fanspeed the temp gets up to 88 Degrees within 2 minutes.

And I have been playing WoW for about 7 months at 65% fanspeed :O

I think that I really need to get me a gpu cooler lawl

Edit: What is safe temps for the 4850?

They can run VERY hot before actually overheating, definitely 100c and up. Question is do you like all that heat buildup inside your case.

I idle my 4850 at 35% fan speed (~50c) and then when I game I kick it up to 45, 50, or 60 depending on what game I'm playing and what overclock I'm using. This way I never go above 75-80C no matter what game.

I have some OCZ Freeze coming soon and am gonna try to reseat the stock cooler using that paste...should improve temps a little bit, rather than buying a graphics cooler for a card I will upgrade within the next year or so.

I just tested it in the actual game and the gpu load isn't near as bad. It hovers around 60-68% load
