What Cooler For HD3850?

Accelero S1 + 2x 120mm fans. Takes up a shitload of space, but worth it to me.
 
The bottom line is that the Accelero is by far the best value VGA cooler around. Sure, you could pay $50 for a Thermalright cooler (or similar), but does it really make sense to spend that much on a sub $100 video card?

If you don't want to go ghetto, just use the Accelero fanless. My 8800GT loads at 62℃ with my fanless accelero.
 
How you get the fans to stay on?

I'm using the Sunbeam PCI anywhere bracket to keep 2 Yate Loon low speed on my Accelero.

Zip ties can be set-up very neatly. I've had couple of 80mm fans zip tied to HR-03 R600. Looked very good and worked even better. If you do not like zip ties, ZALMAN VF700-ALCU or ZALMAN VF700-CU should get the job done just fine.
