I brought an XFX 5850 from the internet, and to my suprise it was a non reference card, despite the picture on the website being a reference card.
A major disadvantage to this is the stupid egg shaped cooler system, I'm getting ridiculous temps, like 95C on load and around 50C idle, this may be because I have bad airflow or my massive Corsair A50 cpu cooler is transferring some heat to the gpu as they are right next to each other.
Does anyone have any aftermarket fans they can recommend?
