This card won't last long... the HD4850s from Rev1 had very high failure rates because of the lack of cooling they gave... (The cooler itself died, the card held firm)... however, the failure rates were cooling related and not reported as a "failed HD4850" so the reliability rate for the HD4850s stayed high.

SO wait, they died from a cooler failure? Meaning the fan quit? That's just a bad batch of fans, not a poor design.

And I'd still like to see links.

I didn't write that a reviewer did. and the cooler we are discussing leaves the air in the case.

Yes but the reference designs are cheaper than this version, people aren't really going to buy SKU of the card.

I had a early HD4850 that died, it was because by the time the fan kicked in, the card was like 100C and that cycle over and over again killed it

Also

I cannot believe what i'm seeing there no way this is butter
I can't believe its not butter

lol
