Hi Guys,
I received my 4870 yesterday. I've been running my games on it and it's a big improvement over my previous 9500gt graphic wise.
The only thing is it's running real hot. It idles at 69-70celsius and under load it jumps up to 98celsius. If I have the fan up to 75% speed and the side panel opens, the temperature drops to 96 celsius.
I emailed XFX tech support and they agree that 98celsius under load is a bit hot.
I checked the fans and they're on securely. I have four fans in my computer. The power supply ran, the fan on the CPU, the rear fan and the fan on the 4870.
My system specs are
E5200 dual core 2.5gigs
4gigs ram
Windows Vista 32bit.
Thermaltake Purepower 600watt PSU.
Is this natural? I know people say this card runs hot, but is it supposed to be 98celsius hot? I'm not overclocking, it's on standard clock speeds.
