HSF's for 4850 xfire?

[knightlag]

Hey, what are some good HSFs for 4850 xfire? I might go XFire after xmas (well, actually...it'd be my Xmas gifts. XD) , but I don't want to have to use my duorb on one of the cards as it'd just blow hot air onto it.

I was thinking of buying two of these, but I don't really trust it..

Ideally, I'd want a HSF that exausts out of the back of my PC, and that seems to be the only one available on newegg.

If I don't go 4850xfire, I'll probably just build the case that I'm trying to design. x.x

I myself haven't seen any HSF's the blow the air out like the retail Dual slot fans on say the 3870, 3870X2, 4870, 4870X2. I see 3870 HSF's on ebay sometimes so you might try looking for a 4870 HSF for your 4850 since it should be the same PCB size.

This is what you are looking for

best aftermarket HSF that blows out the back and is designed like a stock dual slot cooler but better. Im about to order 2 of them myself when I buy my second HD 4850.

IMO that vantec cooler is a POS, its not designed to cool the newer cards on the market today. Trust me, BUY THE AKASA cooler and you wont go wrong

I will tell you when I get one. But sadly you wont buy one unless you go through the site i linked, newegg doesn't carry Akasa products Performace-PCs is a highly rated site also, so dont fret if you want to try them out. Yes they are a bit pricey, but they go the extra mile that other sites dont, i.e. they sleeve all the wires on the fans you buy, cathodes, all internal case wires, and all in what ever color you want! Try em out, you will like em

Oh and yes they are based here in the USA, actually here in Florida, so shipping wont be too bad for ya

Hey, thanks for the suggestion. I'll probably buy a cheap 4850 for Xmas, with the a mobo and two of those now. They look cool. XD

Try these guys as well:

I live in South Africa, and find their shipping rates good. Nice bunch to deal with.

There are guys on TPU using those coolers, and they strongly recommend them.

They started listing some Akasa fans a few days ago I am hoping they do the same for the coolers!

I hope they do too, cause you know it will be cheaper.
