Hello,
My brother will be upgrading to a 4850 this year for Christmas but I'm not 100% sure if it'll stay cool enough in his case.
Here is a photo of the inside of his case. It has one 92mm exhaust fan and there's a 1 PCI slot gap between the red graphics card and black sound card currently in there. His options really seem to be either a stock cooled 4850 or a HIS 4850 IceQ 4 if there isn't enough ventilation in the case for the stock cooler. The problem I see with the IceQ though is that it might stuggle to get any air as there would only be 1 PCI slot width between it and the bottom of the case due to it being a dual slot design.
Does this case have enough ventilation for a 4850 and will a stock cooler model do or would he need something better like an IceQ?
Thanks
