I recently purchased the XFX 7850 2GB core edition and I've been extremely happy with the performance of it. However the thermals are concerning me.
I own the Corsair 550D, a silent case, and with all the panels on, my tempratures during a furmark burn-in test level off in the low 80's C. When I add two side fans (a lot louder) the temps drop to 77's.
I was hoping that the problem might have been the factories thermal paste, so I purchased some AS5 and applied it and my thermals didn't change at all.
Are these temperatures normal? I was hoping to crossfire in the future, but if its hitting 80 now, I'd be afraid of what two cards would do.
My options from here are:
1. I'm paranoid and these temperatures are perfectly normal.
2. Sell this card and get a different card with a better stock cooler.
2. Invest in a new case with better airflow.
3. Invest in a new vga cooling solution.
4. Invest in new case fans.
