thanks! did you have to add extra cooling heatsinks to your board? does it load default cmos easy?

Reply to pcfixed

Nope, nothing extra has been done and no problems noted.

Bar a driver issue that used to happen where the screen would go to sleep and not wake up again.

I have a Gigabyte HD4870X2 in a Gigabyte GA-X48DQ6 motherboard using F8c BIOS, 8GB DDR2 Corsair Dominator, Catalyst 9.10, no problems really using stock cooler, IDLE temps 45-48 Celsius 67-70 Celsius @ full load. the only thing I do not like is temp when installing windows, if the card does not have the driver temps goes up to 95-99 Celsius degrees, once drivers is installed it gets cool.

PS: I love mi HD4870X2 lol :sol:
