Unlock a HD6850 :wtf:

Would certainly be sweet if you could.

It looks like the cooler has been designed to work in conjunction with a decent silent side case fan.

I remember when I was installing my shiny new Thermalright XP-90, my girlfriend was watching the process and she commented that it looked like a motorcycle engine.

W.T.H. Leaving the temperature up to the ambient temperature of the case seems like a bad idea to me. I get the feeling the best way to make sure the card is sufficiently cooled is to attach a fan...destroying it's value as a silent card.

wrong. :shadedshu

This would be the great in my case. I wonder if any vendors sell this particular heatsink so I could put it on my 6850's that I already own?
