First good after market cooler for 5850!!

[otis1337]

Prolimatech MK-13 looks to be the only after market cooler that support the 5850, at last!

>>Review<<
>>OCUK<<

Looks like you get a fan braket with it that can hold a maximum of 4 120mm fans to cool a single or crossfire setup.

now im planning on Crossfire with my 5850 end of march, and i think ill get this cooler or both and use 2x120mm fans on top, but not at the side as i wont have room in my Coolermaster Cosmos 1000

seems to be a new product, so there isnt a lot of photo of it aport from in that review, and no photo's of the fan braket set up.

EDIT: just thought this is on the wrong section, sorry

Bit pricey

 

[otis1337]

indeed, but there isn't anything other than that for 5850's

I persome its passive, but with the option to add fans, I think it would take quite a bit of room to with fans

A bit? It's well in to bend over territory.

If you are lucky, you might gain 1MHz for every £1 it costs. It would actually be good value if 5850's were priced £750 new.

 

[Minstadave]

Hell thats almost the price of a corsair H50, just bodge one of those on there!

Apparently the VRM's get very toasty with this cooler.

Some pictures here

Half a kilo

The Zalman VF-1000 fits the 5850, you just have to leave the cooler backplate on to cool those pesky VRMs

 

[cainer]

just buy a vapor-X lol

 

[C64]

looks good i like the future proofing if a tad overpriced

£30

Only takes up two PCI slots.

Leave the cooler baseplate on for the VRM's.

I wonder if the cooler really causes any issue with the VRM's...

I am very tempted to go with the MK13 as I am really happy with my Megahalem CPU cooler...

Only if you promise to tell us how much your rig weighs afterwards

 

[dante6491]

Looks very similar to the T-Rad2. Wonder if that would fit...

 

[capriboy1978]

Nearly £140 for two with 4 decent fans

If your going to void your warranty how much does a full cover waterblock run at?
