7850 arrived.. Not same as pic (not ocuk)

[413x]

Have been looking for a reference 7850 for a while now and thought I had found one. Card arrives and it is a sapphire dual x version.

Looks like there might not be many about.

I'm guessing most people don't want reference but I really can't have heat being blown into my case

Anyone know of any?

The his ice Q is a non reference cooler but it also throws the heat out of the back of the case unlike most cooling solutions.

That one also throws the heat out the sides though as it's not covered!

It sucks air in from top bottom and sides and then pushes the air out the back of the card(back of pc) you may get a small amount of leakage from the sides but its the best solution for your needs massively better than stock cooling with the addition of pushing the hot air out if the case.

I'm sure someone with his ice q will comment on here and they should be able to tell you if there is much air that comes out the sides I can't comment on this as I run a 7950 wf3.

I have the 7950 iceq boost and they only send the air out of the back of the case, non leaks into the case

I got an IceQ and all air goes out back I can't feel any air being pushed out the sides.

I will also say that it's a great cooler, keeps everything really cool and is really quiet too.

also check if the iceQ fits in your case, ive seen one at ocuk and the cooler is massive

what is the reason for not wanting the dual x version? does your case not have much air flow?

try the card? 7850's dont get hot anyway 70c max in summer

Yeah its a Htpc case and not good with cooling really especially getting the air out.

It'sa shame that iceq seems so expensive, 60 more than the sapphire, the cooler should fit. Just.

I will try the card, it's short which helps a lot.

looks like the gpu is 15C cooler on idle than the 6950, yet to seal it up (both tested with no lid at this point)
