Expected or should we install some better cooling.If it was tested as the reporter stated were these high temperature's observed? Point of this post should I be worried??	Robbie W (12490)
696004	2008-08-09 01:54:00	What card exactly is the card there a heaps of different 4870's with different cooling? What have you got in the way of a case and airflow?	stormdragon (6013)

Fan seems to keep it around 77/80deg c can just hear the fan speed up when it hits 81c got GPU-Z running on the other monitor so I can watch temp.	Robbie W (12490)

You should be worried when the card starts locking up, artefacting, etc but if it's not doing that and it's the same temp that everyone else's is - then it sounds normal to me	Agent_24 (57)
696007	2008-08-11 00:37:00	The trouble with ATI cards, is that hardly any of the OEM manufacturers bother with better cooling solutions.....and lets face if, ATI have struggled with every cooling solution they made since the x1800 series..... I believe most ATI card holders now use ATI tools to configure a profile to increase the fan speed from the get go!	SolMiester (139)
