I'm in love.......gonna have to set that up soon as I get the 2nd 4850. Great find on the fan speed fix-appreciate it.
told u it work ur rig is a beauty,got one my 8800gtx in my antec 900 with all blue even my zalman 9700 is black with blue led(modd)
I made it up to /ATI/ACE but no profile that I just made. Just like Rich2526 it just says Profiles.xml. I've been trying for 2 hours, please help how to find the darn file. Thanks. edit: Found it and set to 65%, idling at 46 degrees C as we speak. Thank you very much.
guys I still can't find the file, it is not there, I have enabled show hidden folders and still not showing up. I created it and gave it a name, but no go. any idea what is going on.
thanks man. I also managed a 19,2XX 3dmark score with the 4850's tuned at 685/1110. I know these things can do more.... btw, the stock h/s are in the trashbin already. lol. they make the card (any card) too heavy.
Fasteddy, will you make a profile and post the part of the xml code with the fan control? I would like to see what it is. bretware
paulc are those duorbs easy to fit m8 and have they knocked much of your temp and are they quiet cheers
I'm going to keep the stock cooler on my HD4850 and try to fabricate the exhaust module to direct the heat through expansion slot outside from the case. Heat buildup is the biggest problem, cooler itself is quiet capable.
There you go mate... this is from the one I'm using with it now set at 45%. </Feature> <Feature name="FanSpeedProtocol_0"> <Property name="FanSpeedProtocolProperty" value="Percent" /> </Feature> <Feature name="FanSpeedAlgorithm_0"> <Property name="FanSpeedAlgorithm" value="Manual" /> </Feature> <Feature name="FanSpeedRPMTarget_0"> <Property name="Want" value="0" /> </Feature> <Feature name="FanSpeedPercentTarget_0"> <Property name="Want" value="45" />
Keep us posted on how that works out, and if it does, some guide would be nice... heck i can solder and i got materials
I put an Antec Vcool under my card and it immediately dropped about 13 degrees celcius even with the Vcool set on low speed.
Sorry fasteddy I misunderstood what you were saying in one of your posts. "Mine comes in automatically... sorted!" For some reason I thought you were saying the auto was working on your fan, LOL I'm going to put some hours in to night and try to get the auto working, the info is in one of these piles.:bang: bretware
Exactly, it is obvious the stock cooling hardware is adequate by observing the speed at which the GPU cools when not loaded. I'd also be interested to see your solution to exhausting the heat using the stock cooling. With the number of cards ATI will sell at these prices you might be able to make some money.
hey do the 4870 ,s also have this heat problem? cuz im gonna buy one or the other 4870 or 4850 but I dont really want to fart eround evertime I load my comp so I can play a game without my new cards setting aflame...thanks...Steve
Today if everything goes well i'll make a paper prototype just to see if it's even possible. Bad thing is i'll have to use metal because if the extreme heat generated at the exhaust. Or at least high heat resistant plastic...
