I have this Chieftec Dragon : http://images.infoteldistribut...mages/medium/usb-c.jpg
I am also using a CoolerMaster V8 HS to cool the processor.
The thing is that the V8 is so high it wont let me place a fan where it is supposed to go.
I don't mind not having that fan, but the hole on...
Is there any site with reviews of an actual 5850 ?
I saw the one of the sticky but what they did was downclocking a 5870 to 5850 speeds.
Merged into main thread.
Video Mod BFG10K.
This is the one I saw where they downclocked a 5870, from the second page:
"We simulated the performance of the HD 5850 by taking our HD 5870, reducing the clock speeds and disabling two SIMDs, which results in exactly the same performance as HD 5850."
I need a 22" monitor mainly for gaming (will be coupled with my soon-to-arrive Sapphire 5870)
So far I think I should get one of these:

I re oriented and reseated my HS. Cleared the cabling (it was a mess) and added a second frontal fan. Temps dropped 13C :D (and it was a very hot day)
Overclocked to 3.4 and after some minutes of Priming it is not reaching 65C. Thanks all for the feedback and help !
Thank you for your answers ! I think something is wrong with my i7, at around 25C ambient I am getting 50-53C idle. Ill try re-seating the HS tomorrow and reapplying thermal paste.
Edit: That is without overclocking :(
1. What is the normal temp for stock speeds (i7 920)?
2. What temperature measurement program should I be using?
3. What would be a good temperature to aim for for 24/7 use after overclocking?
4. Anyone has a good i7 overclocking guide ? (Extra points for Gigabyte's UD3r motherboard...
