I guess I got the worst 4850 that one can purchase. Max stable frequency is 645mhz on the core. Up it 5mhz more and there will be artifacts. Have not overclocked the memory since I'm waiting for Zalman memsinks.
It's a Sapphire. Use Arctic Cooling Accelero S1 with Nexus 120mm fan @ 7v and the temps are much lower than stockcooling (which I think is terrible, too high temperatures and too noisy)
Core is now idle at 40 and the VRMs are about 40 too.
Zalman heatsinks on the VRMs with airflow on them through the fins.
Tried different BRE edits for the voltage (1.2v), but still can't reach higher clocks.
Seasonic S12 500w should be enough to power the system
For comparison my GeCube 3870 overclocked to 830/2505 without problems with the same cooler (no vmods)

OP updated to include water cooling of the 4870. If anyone is interesting in water cooling your 4850/4870 I suggest that you keep the OEM front plate with fan on the video card. It should not hinder your water block. I would keep fan speed about the same so that your vregs/etc are properly cooled.

Thanks for the tip man! I won't be watercooling, but I'll try to fit Accelero S1 together with this bracket and original fanI doubt that I'll have enough clearance in the stock fan's area, but if I do, this could rock, LOL!
I'll try some other setups, hopefully to find out what's the best way to aircool this card (4870). I'll be posting my results next week!

Make sure you use either a rubber washer/Neoprene washer between the bracket and the video card. You can find these washers at your local hardware store. Do not let the bare metal of the bracket come in contact with the video card.
This photo shows neoprene and a rubber washer. If you can, try to get rubber washers as they are gummy while the neoprene washers are rigid.

Oh, thanks for the tip! Btw, did you just put insulation on screws? I see some rubber on the square (middle) metal part of the bracket, is that originaly there or did you add those as well? I do usually take a VERY good care about those things, but extra warning is always welcome, there's never too much of those![]()

Ok I've OCed my 4850s using BIOS flashing to 750/1150 and it's completely 24/7 stable. Mine are on water too.
I finally got around to checking actual voltages with a DMM and found that I get 1.05 (probably 1.046, only 3 sig figs) and 1.17V at load..............however I flashed the BIOS to 1.21V (I've read this is the max)
I tried flashing it again with 1.3V and it didn't work...same results.
Anyone have any ideas? Has anyone else measured with a DMM?

Yep, max from the bios is 1.21v, no matter how high you set it. Try the pencil mod, very very easy, and you can get 1.4v with it.

People with aftermarket coolers, how have you cooled the VRM? mine gets really warm. up 120c with furmark. I have put small heat sinks on them and a 120 fan blowing at low speed, but ye still high :/

Hey east, what's that program you're using to display stats?
