Fitting Vortexx Neo on 4850

[Devilman]

I got a sapphire 4850 and gettin fed up with the bad temps and noise so gonna buy a Vortexx Neo. Gonna use AS5 on the GPU but am unsure about the ram / VRMs.

Do i need thermal tape between the ram / VRMs and the vortexx Neo? does it come with them, or will I need to buy some? or do people use a bit of AS5?

Cheers

Hi

Thermal tape is supplied for the ram, I used AS5 for the GPU.

hope that helped..

Arctic Cooling MX-2 is better than Arctic Silver 5. I'm sure it's cheaper for a lot more too.

I've got Vortexx Neos on both of my 4850s, they come with everything you need basically.

i had to buy thermal tape because the tape that came with the Vortexx Neo was crap.

u don't need to put anything in the VRM's because the fan is right over the VRM's which cools them.
