From what in gather thats just marketing mumbo jumbo as most if not all coolers that currently fit the 3870 will work fine on the 4870/4850 the only exception being full cover water blocks as they are designed specifically for each model.

Im currently using a HR03-GT on my 4870 which ofcourse designed for the 8800GT, atleast those are the only instructions supplied with it

20CFM per fan? seems reasonable, what mm are those fans? whats their max speed.

TBH id rather not hear about it till i have specs. just a bloody picture is well annoying

There are specs (including dimensions), check the link again

Looks very promising and at 34mm high there hopefully won't be any clearance issues for crossfire.

Where have i seen that design before

Hmmm... can't put my finger on it...

Maybe they will block the crossfire connector like the S1 ?

Reckon it will be worth getting one of these for the 4870? I quite like the idea of dual slot cooling (comes as standard on the 4870 right?) pushing that hot air straight out of the case.

Those coolers clearly dont push the air straight out of the case though.

Don't they? Thought that was the whole point!

smilertoo · 3 Jul 2008 at 15:14

Nah, the point with bigger fans is they run slower so less noise, but still move more air so better cooling.

willhub · 3 Jul 2008 at 15:17

The main thing is not the fans lol, look at the cooler designed, they use heatpipes and bigger heatsinks to spread the heat more.

you can get around that anyway

i've got 2 S1's coming tomorrow along with some 4850's so i'll be doing the same as below.

Duke · 3 Jul 2008 at 21:27

It isn't out yet :confused:

I'd have thought venting out the rear of the case would be a better design, you can certainly feel the heat my 3870x2 chucks out the back under load - ow!

marscay · 3 Jul 2008 at 22:48

depends on your case and cooling really - with a watercooled cpu and nb + good airflow it's not a big deal tbh....with all air cooling then yeh a dual slot exhaust cooler would be better i guess.

Yeah that's what I was trying to say above, but think people didn't understand me and thought I was talking about these coolers, not the stock ones!
