i hope i gave all informations i can .. Please advice !!

I don't see anything particularly out of the ordinary here.

Did stumble across this thread that you might be interested in for lowering your 4870 temps.

+1 load er'up. Loads matter.

who cares what your idle temps are.

what are you temps under load.

Playing. Nono. Use a load program. OCCT for the CPU, Furmark for the GPU.

You have a stock CPU cooler to start with. You need to adjust your GPU fanspeeds with Rivatuner to higher settings. You also might look into updating your GPU bios, that might help.

We aren't getting anywhere here......................

60 degree cpus and 85 degree gpus are fine.

10 more degrees on your cpu, worry.

10 more degrees on your gpu, worry.

*edit* actually, now that i look at it, that cpu temp is high considering you arent overclocking, those are overclocking temps. they are within acceptable range... but dont leave you room to overclock.

when i bump the fan speed control from 29% to 38% temp down from 70 to 53
the problem is i want it to be Automatic start 38% (not working)

and the topic spinny put is very old talk about the same idea becouse in that date there was no fan control in the ccc

is their any solution to make the start fan level 38% !!

if Rivatuner do this .. a little help in using because it's hard to manage

i really dont understand why ati put such low idle fanspeeds on their 4800 series.

everyone complains about it.

IF I DO that .. it will not rise up the speed limite i put
or make 3 profiles with different speeds .. this is not Practical way

Rivatuner is complicated but it can do it, many have. I'm no versed much in that. I suggest you try the GPU forum and other forums scattered around the world.

Google is your friend. try typing rivatuner fan control. I have seen detailed guides on how to do it. Go find it.

@errorloading

18c ? Thats like somewhere around 64F ? Wow!, I'd hate to have to pay your electric bill. LOL

Well errorloading, Time I saw the picture of your case I knew what I'd do to it.

Remove the lower HDD carriage blocking your front intake fan, move your HDDs up into the 5 1/2" drive bay, you really don't need but one DVDRW anyway, get some 70+ CFM 120mm Cooling fans and get some serious airflow through that bad boy
and you'll see an immediate difference.

Your graphics card will have fresh ambient airflow directly to it and it will run cooler, you said (no fan in the cover), assuming you mean the 250mm fan, didn't it come with the case or was it extra?

Edit; You were already advised to remove the front filter and I second that suggestion.

Most of us are in and out of our cases so much dust removal is a way of life, you do not really need a intake filter anyway it just additionally restricts airflow.
