Hello every1, im little bit concerned with my temperature of my GPU
I got sapphire 4870 512gddr5 silent efficient
Bios version: 011.010.000.002.029896 (113-BA0701-X07)
ive got this card for some time now, firsly i was thinking that maybe its termal paste but i changed it and temps went only few degrees lower... Case got nice air flow so thats not the problem, without extra fans in case card gets even hotter,
atm my Idle temps 50-52c on 64% fan speed
in games is goes up to 70-72 on 100% fan speed
and ive seen that mostly ppl have them much cooler then me. i am worried cuz atm room temp doesnt go more then 22c and hot days are still to come... and then my gpu wount be useable for games at all.. Any suggestion ?

I hope this is the case when i buy my HD4890 -__- its normal for graphics cards like those to run a bit hot. Oh. you think that's hot? Check out my 9600GSO running at 85c max load and not even throttling. The nvidia 9 series and the HD4850-90 were made to run hot so chill out. It's not even that hot

ye but... not at this fan speeds... according to my research...
and what will be when my room temperature goes higher cuz of overheated days will come and i personaly dont use airconditioning cuz of health problems.
