i havent got it overcloocked due to being scared of burnin it out but my cpu and ram is over clocked. I think the gpu is a hot point in my case plus my case isnt that good for coolin

*EDIT* plus witch cooler is the best bang for my money plus easyest to put on due to it being my first time putin one on
 
The vortexx neo is very easy to install, there are some reviews on the web that go through it. It can be a bit loud though so if heat is your only worry I'd look up the fan speed hack and ramp it up with the stock cooler.

I might be stating the obvious here but a new cooler will do nothing for your FPS.

accelero s1 rev 2 n a 120mm fan? (any cheapo would do it)

its out of stock atm lyk, but my temps dont go above 45 on my 8800GT and thats overclocked as far as it will go.

imo, this whole thing with the single slot cooler is just an excuse to shove a really rubbish cheap one on. like the 8800GT. but never mind :)

not 100% certian that cooler will fit on a 4850 but i hear of some people doing it.
 
Thermalright HR-03 does the trick for me, heatpipes cover two RAM chips though so get the later revision with the special heatsink.

dose ocuk have the latest revision and how easy is it to put on?

EDIT
i got the temps down to 66 by the fan hack
