So i just installed the Zalman zf3000 on my 5850http://ncix.com/products/?sku=54346&...=ZALMAN%20TECH
then i went to plug it in and all i got was a long steady high pitched beep
. Naturally instead of acting calm and trying to figure out what the problem was i panicked and went to a secondary computer to search the web and try and solve my problem. When no solution was immediately found I took a deep breath decide i would go out tomorrow and buy a video card (one to be used later in a htpc build) and go from there. So i go up to my computer and go to take the card out only to realize that of course i hadn't plugged the 5850 into the psu. Long story short everything is up and running, went from 65C core at 1000/1150 at 1.212v to 44c core (no ram temp hitting more then 54c) after 10 mins of kombuster at 1280x1024 with 8xmsaa (card at 95% load). Hope everyone got a kick out of my afternoon in computer cooling, and ill post some before and after pictures of the gpu later if anyone wants to see them.
