Sapphire HD5850 Fan Noise Test

[razor4tuning]

mine fully spedd up has 52 dgrees :)) living in cyprus btw verry hot here:)

[Destroysall]

Just curious, what case do you have?

[otamtotamtam]

why would u have a water pump and shit loads of hoses inside your pc yet have an aircooled vga ? that just doesnt make any sense

[bkrawk]

@otamtotamtam the water cooling came about 3 months before the video card was installed, this was shot on the first day i had the card, makes sense to you yet?

[no1doesitlikeme]

Damn I never knew that the fan on that card was so effective. Took about 15 seconds at 100% to drop 5c...nice.

[HeLeX63]

my ATI 4670 idles at 25 degrees and at load, 52 degrees

[Mupp1t]

damn my 5770 vapor x is quieter than this lol

[ylulnlulsYx1]

its not so loud because my friend has a 8800gt. If this card goes to 100% fan. I cant listen music with headset loud.

[UltimaRune]

Hi, would you mind telling me if stock cooler works as a intake or as an outlet? Will the heat be directed out of the case or into the case?

[bkrawk]

@UltimaRune video card fan brings air in to cool, exhausts out of the back

[UltimaRune]

Ok. Thanks. Got myself the card and for people who're saying that CM Extreme Power Plus 650W can't support it....It can as I've tried it...

[no1doesitlikeme]

@UltimaRune A corsair 600W does the job just fine too...

[eL3ctr1c4L]

from my perspective, the design of 8800 gts/gtx G80 was the best, even at full speed, the fan wasn't that loud. now I have a sapphire 4890 and at full speed ....hell it sounds like a vacuum cleaner.

[bkrawk]

@JokerArmy1 not at all it doesnt actually ever get up to 100% in a game

[JokerArmy1]

so how much % in-game?

[Peetah16]

as long as you dont overclock or anything the noise is not a problem : )

[JokerArmy1]

Hmm well the XFX Black edition is overclocked so.. :p?

[bkrawk]

@JokerArmy1 even when it is overclocked its not really a problem because you would never hear it over the game sounds anyway

[JokerArmy1]

Ah ok :). well my choice will fall on the XFX black edition or the Sapphire toxic edition ;)

[keiki646]

wow nice RIG, I like the watercooling color. Yes the video card run loud when you increase the fan speed but I love it. You can check out my vid on my profile of my new i5 750 gaming pc

[syedjaafar]

still waiting to CF this hoho!

[madzane94]

wow those are some fat tubes :D

[bkrawk]

fat tubes are awesome

[chakiller36]

Yup 12mm FTW

[baidas4]

why is the gpu and the memory clock decreases to very low values when u higher the fan speed !!! :S

[infrinous19]

it has nothing to do with the fan speed, its power saving

[baidas4]

oh i see..

[neardood1]

Awesome watercooling but if I were u i would not spend som much on watercooling and get another 5850, or do both like me :)

[rathy21]

is it me or is the the hum of the hdd's and water cooling system louder than the fan coz i cant hear it ??

[bkrawk]

the microphone is not the best on this camera, in person u can tell the difference when it gets past 30%, it's easy to differentiate the rest of the computer from the gpu

[neardood1]

dude i've got 2 Giga 5050's and another 9 fans PLUS a water cooling pump running in my PC and its quieter than that

[neardood1]

no, the GPU is really quiet on idle, and the pump has a specific whining to it which is not present in this vid.

[bkrawk]

np, i was surprised how loud this thing can get

[standalone8844]

I'm waiting for a decent 3rd party cooler to come out. I've got my old 4850 with a Scythe Musashi clocked at 700 / 1200. It's the most i can get out of it and it works perfectly.

[yajstylez]

thanks for the upload... heard many complaints about the fan noise of this graphic card... and you solved it for me... :)
