Hmmmm, 4870
The question is, will a 420W PSU with 1 PCI-E 6 pin out be able to cope with it?
Yep should be fine, if it's the earthwatts. Although you'll need to find a molex to PCIe 6/8 pin adapter.

Yep stock speed, no room for anything else at those temps I wouldnt imagine either!

What's the fan speed at?
Plec, what do you reckon with darylls cooler not being set correctly? perhaps its not sitting correctly on the GPU core?
I cant really be without a card either so im going to have to order one before sending this back :S
do you know if postage is refunded if a fault is found? This is the first time ive returned anything to ocuk..
Ok then, I might do that, hopefully they will find the fault otherwise it could work out pricey!
I can recreate the problem in furmark everytime so hopefully will be ok.
Furmark has known problems with 48xx series pushing them too hard, it's probably not the best tool to test stability with.
Hi guys
Just looking for a bit of confirmation really. Recently upgraded to an XFX 4850 XXX from a 4670, and have had a few problems with the card while under load.
Seems to be whenever I'm playing a game, after about 15 mins the machine locks up with a black screen. I've been able to replicate this problem within Wolverine, as well as Furmark.
I'm not sure if its a heat issue, as the card idles in Windows at around 42C and at load at about 60-68c. I think that is within tolerances.
The only other thing is I'm running the system with a 420W Antec Earthpower PSU that came with the Fusion case I have. The system itself is an athlon X2 6000 at stock (3.1Ghz), 4Gb RAM, 1 SATA HDD, 1 SATA DVD-RW, 1PCI Wireless NIC.
So what do you reckon guys, do I blame card, PSU, Catalyst 9.6 or temps? I'm thinking PSU but wanted other thoughts.
