I have a ahem version of FC2. The crack doesn't allow me to run benchmark. Is there crack that allows it?

I also want to buy an Accelero. From where did u buy it allywdinama? From the last one month i was running my card at 100% fan speed and the temps at load were 104 degrees. After 1 month i got Arctic MX-2 Cleaned the heatsink reapplied the termal paste and now its 82 degrees at 100% fan speed. So i badly need that Accelero heat sink. ANy help would be appreciated. From where did u buy it and are there any poblems in installing the heat sink?

With my el sh*tty Nokia 6233 cam, No thank you. ;)

You're in the same dilemma as I was prior to adding my after market cooler. Those temps will keep rising unless you either kill the card & RMA it or open up the heatsink & clean the dust settled on it. Blowing air around it won't help at all. Trust me, I have been through this cat-mouse game. Try claiming an RMA for excess heating. I don't know how MSI's policy works but my GeCube has a 1:1 replacement policy. If it's the same with yours then you'll get the replacement quite fast. The chances of getting a dual slot cooler would only be if they don't have the same model (single slot cooler) in stock with them.

@redmanc: Is your card recently purchased? The idle temps are really good. No need to tweak anything with the fan speed. If you do want to try it out then set it to 45-55% which should be more than enough.
Can i get my Card RMAed? I don't think GeCube has released a card with custom cooling. I hate to run the card at 100% fan speed. It creates a lot of noise and the temps at load are still 82 degrees while playing Far Cry 2. Help would be appreciated.:(

You're in the same situation as I was few weeks back. This single slot HD4850's are cursed I tell you. They work fine for few first 2 months then the temps just insanely skyrocket. Get the Accelero from KMD @Techenclave forums. I got mine delivered within one day. The cost is around 1.65k but totally worth every bit of it. Earlier my idle temps used to be 76 degrees & load temp would be 105 degrees & that too with just 10 mins into the game.

Fitting an Accelero for the first time was quite messy. I screwed up on the back clamp which held the default heatsink. All I can say is download a video over from YouTube & that will give you a basic idea. Also add on a 120mm fan to it. I have got one attached myself. Now the idle temps have dropped to an insane 42 degrees & load barely crosses 50 degrees. It was totally worth the effort. Just PM KMD & he should have one sourced out to you (if in stock).

Well I too was going for Accelero but now since winters are here and exams too, not gaming much so will slap on the customs later but one things decided, it ain't gonna be Accelero, hopefully Zalman VF1000 LED, best V.F.M according to me. Is in short supply, hope KMD can get it for me. More Zalman VF1000 is what MSI is now slapping on their HD4850s, me just got p@wned into buying an older SKU otherwise wud've got the same thing for less.

i dnt thnk zalman coolers are available in india........they will look cool on 4850 though.........but hw cn u say that they r great vfm???????? in us they cost abt $50 so in india its goin to be much more........i wud advise u to go wid accelero rev 1 as it is much much efficient than zalman 1.......read the reviews for both coolers........

@plasmasnake, how much does that zalman cooler cost?
Btw i benchmarked Far Cry2. I gt these
At 1024x768 with ultra high settings and 2xAA i got
Average: 30.70
Max:37.99
Min:26.96
I think these are too low. The drivers were 8.12 catalyst. Is it that the scores are low for XP and higher for VISTA?

Read carefully, Zalman fan is available through KMD and costs only 2500 bucks. I think ir\ts a good V.F.M as it includes both heatpipe and a L.E.D fan thus providing more efficient cooling and also the BLING! The Accelero's cost is around 1600 bucks and we get heatpipes only, the fan has to be attached as "desi jugaad".

Dude you can get the AC Turbo Module fans separately for 700 bucks & that would easily pwn the Zalman cooler & still cost less than the Zalman. ;)

Install the hotfixed catalyst drivers for farcry 2...I got twice the performance with it.
