Picked up a used Gigabyte HD 4850 with Zalman aftermarket cooler for $10. The Zalman cooler kept temps at just 53°C — massive difference from my previous HD 3850 that hit 106°C! Tested on a Core 2 Duo rig with GTA SA, CoD4, Crysis and more. Full video here: https://youtu.be/0ORqQPk7kjs

    Haha 4x Crossfire sounds like an absolute disaster — so much heat for worse performance! But that’s the kind of experiment you do just to say you did it. Running Crysis on 4x HD 4850 with a Phenom is peak LAN party energy!

      Oh yeah, man. Thankfully, I had no delusions about it being anything other than a shit show.

      I certainly miss those days. Bring back, dedicated servers dammit!
