HD4850 holes distance

Can anyone look up / measure what the distance between the holes in the picture from 4850 is?
(distance center from hole to center from hole in mm)

Thanks in advance!

1) How many VRM sinks (and which different sizes) come with the cooler? 2) What is the minimum voltage or minimum PWM duty cycle percentage (from graphic card itself) needed for the fans of the twin turbo to spin up?.

First I noticed that the sink wasn't properly aligned. The sink wasn't flush on the GPU die and that was because the sink's heatpipes were propped against the lowest RAM sink. Seems te be the same problem as with the Accelero S1, Like in this picture: http://images.hardwarecanucks.com/image/skymtl/...

Somebody already has this cooler?

I wonder how many, and which ram & VRM heatsinks come with this cooler. And what the quality of the adhesive of this sinks will be. The sinks of the Accelero S1 don't stick that good, I read.

Hm didn't know that. Always thought that heatsinks were grounded.
But in that case I agree that it's not a good idea...
Unfortunate, I really thought this could improve heat transfer a lot.

What do you mean with "are live"?

Sorry for my insufficient knowledge of English :oops:

Maybe you can solder some solid copper wires between de PSU's heatsinks and each metal side of the pot. Would improve thermal conductivity enormous
This + oil -> very good conductivity + convection
Only oil -> only convection (no conductivity)

Does the Velleman IC / SG3525 IC use the long full voltage pulses as cmthomson described? If so: what is the frequency of it comparing to retail PWM fancontrollers? If not so: then there's just filtering a normal high frequency current by the fans coil, but this does not give more information about ...

Frequency tested on the Noise Isolator fancontroller: 100Hz. Can you specify "several per seconds"? I assume it's not going to be very much, because you can here every separate click of the clikcing sound. With this information it seams that also a coil (inductor) will not help to solve the problem ...

I have found that the fans of my CM Stacker case (2-wire fans) have a contact point with solderiron on their PCB which gives the rpm signal. If you solder on this point an extra wire, you'll have a 3-wire fan with rpm-signal. I assume that lots of 2-wire fans wille have an rpm-point because most 2-w...

I have had the same problem as the topicstarter and I did some research on it. If you use a capacitor, the problem is that it will make average voltage higher then intended. The bigger the capacitor, the smoother the output line will become, but also the higher the average voltage will become. So if...

In the article is mentioned that the corsair PSU's use the same printboard as the seasonic S12 PSU's, difference is that they are modular.
