that heatsink and fan set up do a great job
Maybe they learned a lesson from the nVidia XFX card that seemed to drop like flies for a while?

Unfortunately just a two slot cooler internally.
Even with my fans on minimum the case temp is around the 25C mark, so not too bad when you look at the specs
<---
Thanks to Antec and Silverstone (P160 and 9 blade fans, respectively for that one)
That said, I'd have preferred it vented out the back in the search for ever lower temps!
v.nice. I panicked when I saw the last Hexus review that included an ASUS 4850, because it was up at 77 idle and I'd just bought one to go in an mATX build for a friend!
Fortunately, it turns out they're still using the old one with the reference cooler rather than the Zalmanesque one. With one cheap 120mm case fan in a cheap mATX mini-tower everything sat at high 30s / low 40s. Not ultra-chill, I admit, but good enough given that the damn thing is small, cute *and* practically silent![]()
