Hello everyone,

I was thinking about getting the 4850 in cf for my new build but the thing is ATI + Single Slot coolers = High Temps so I was thinking about getting aftermarket coolers and this one seem like a good one. Only thing is I can't seem to find a online store that carries it. I found a site that sales them for 60 bucks but I was thinking to my self that if I pay for both card and pay 120 bucks just for the cooler i might as well get the 4870x2.
 
?? Whaaaaa what is the difference between VF1000 and GV1000???

It seems VF1000 is cheaper than GV1000. I currently have a VF1000 on my 4850 and the temps are just amazing compared to the stock coolers, and very silent too. It is a bit expensive though, you might want to check out the Palit Sonic edition or HIS IceQ edition, as they seem to be better fitted with coolers and don't cost as much.

There's also the new Accelero Twin Turbo that's specifically designed for 4850/70 in mind.
 
GV cooler rotates is a bit faster(1650/3600rpm vs 1400/2500rpm on VF model).
 
I got the VF1000 and works flawless... Use it on my second rig 4850 (used to idle at 79 celcius, not idles at 38)... low rpm, its really quie
Had to saw off some of the stock to cover the chips near the power connector

here's my GV1000 on an 8800GTS. The only difference from the VF1000 is the color of the fan LED, the speed of the fan, and the nickel coating.
