- XFX HD 6870 Black Edition 1GB Radeon graphics card
- Idle temps 50-60c.
- Gaming temps 78-85c
- MSI afterburner profile enabled (fan is ridiculously noisy)
- Without MSI, temps reach 90c quickly.
I use 1 monitor at 120hz and my case cooling is fine (CPU idle temps are 25-35c and never above 45c full load).
After doing research it seems that the black edition of this card means it's already overclocked and therefore runs hotter than the other 6870.
Some of you might say these temps are reasonable, but it is just way too noisy and I have to run the fan at 70-80% fan almost always when I am gaming, and 40-50% speed idle.
Can someone tell me what I can do and if there are any good cards worth getting to replace it < £150.
I have tried cleaning out the GPU fan with compressed air and the temps dropped by about 5c, but it still runs hot and noisy.
