Re: New build; reasonably quiet i5
Love passively cooled rigs! And that Thermalright is a Godsend. Are you still using the stock Tricool on the rear? Is the 4850 stable at high loads? I remember having troubles with the VRM temperatures on many games that led to blue screens. I took out the rear fan and taped the hole shut. With the...

I was just going to start this topic, bought the same card after reading reviews claiming it to be somewhat silent, baloney I say! The thing sounds like a vacuumcleaner even at 25% fan speed :-( Anyways, I got my Accelero coming but just got this nervous twinge that it might not fit my Sonata II cas...
