ATI Radeon 4850 too hot?

An AMD Radeon HD 4850 with reference coolers is known to be close to 100 ° C under full load. Whether this really brings no problems, I asked myself a long time.

So yesterday replaced the radiator (actually because of the volume) against a Scythe Musashi and behold, drive strength at very low temperatures and at the lowest level at 60 ° C with FurMark renamed exe.

But after looking at the old cooler but already showed clear signs. Whether derived from the heat?

This would explain in any case, why the computer would never walk properly stable. Hopefully AMD gets installed on the next series and immediately useful cooler.

PS: Maybe we'll meet on quake live;)

iPhone Headsets on Sale

After my original headphones are gone through more or less mysterious circumstances, had to quickly find new her. A particular difficulty in the headphone option is through the special connection on the iPhone 2G, but thanks to the 5 € adapter from eBay should not be an obstacle for me.

So off to rummage through the shelves and Media Markt and behold Sony MDR-V150 for 24,99 € in the offer. While these are without a microphone, but I hardly use.

At home, then came the surprise, because the headphones have a plug that fits beautifully into the iPhone and also have a much better sound quality than Apple's originals.

So if you do not need a headset and wants to find an adapter, which I can recommend the MDR-V150 in any case.
