Hi there, just installed my new SAPPHIRE HD 3870 and I noticed that its running rather hot compared to my 3850 thats installed.

3850 is running at about 45 degrees idle whereas the 3870 is at 57. The PC is hooked up to the 3870 directly while the 3850 is just enabled in crossfire mode. Let me know if you guys have experienced this type of thing and if its a problem or normal. Thanks.
