I now have my card watercooled at last but am a little concerned about VRM temperatures. I've fitted more heatsinks to the chips and everest is now reporting the VRM temp as 70C in furmark. How does stack up to other peoples readings? I'm wanting to get this sorted before I start pushing the card for clock speed as its no good having a cool GPU if I'm frying the VRMs!

Radeon 5850 VRM Temp

An old koolance one on a custom loop does the trick though was worried it wouldnt cover the die properly but after some careful measuring first its fine especially with the chip being mounted at 45 degrees compared to my G92. By the looks of it my temps are fine but if anyone running this card has everest it would be good to see their readings or someone running a 4870/90 card.
Had to look up what that meant lol. Don't really wanna mess about with the camera right now to be honest was just interested what peoples temps are. Its nothing fancy anyway just does the job! Gotta say though it was a real pain trying to find a screwdriver to remove the four screws holding the heatsink in place around the back of the GPU!!!
I'll try and post some in the morning calling it a night now too many hours at work lately! So you've basically used the plate without the heatsink from the stock cooler right? I've read about people doing that with the 4870/90 today looked interesting as you can do that, use a waterblock and still stick the sinks to that too if you like it seems. It looks to me though that this card might take the thermalright VRM cooler for the 4890 so might end up doing that at some point.
