Accelero S1, the 4870 would idle around 45c, and load around 55-56c, now while that is VERY low compared to people getting 85-90c temps on the 4870, it's still impressive that the 4890 idles lower than the 4870, with the exact same aftermarket cooler. Temps:...

Sapphire 4870 idle at 66 celcius, Hot no?. Hello, i'm on a Intel Q9400 (factory clock), 2x 2 800mhz kingston DDR2 ram, and a Sapphire 4870 512DDR5. CPU each core average at 38-40 idle. But my GPU (using GPUz) is 66 at idle! is that a bit high, i don' t remember...

932 case. The HD 4870 is idling at 58celsius at the core. In comparison my GTX 260 (216 shader superclock) Idles at 32 celsius. That's 26 celsius difference. Anyone here have a Air cooled system running 4870 that is getting lower temps than 58c idle? I'm...

a tad more overclocking head room than the ATI Radeon HD 4850 did" 3. I was comparing stock to stock... If I made a fan profile with my card it would idle and load much lower (not that I need to) Also, using your 4870 as an example is irrelevant as this...

Quick 4870 Question. Hello all I just recently purchased my new rig and I'm waiting for it to be delivered. I had a quick question about the 4870. Now that the 8.10 drivers are out, does it completely cover the weird fan-speed bug the cards were having?...

changes while gaming and see if it does infact increase. My single 4870 idles and loads the same, that fan speed controller works well for me. I have tried with 35% speed and its in the mid-to high 40's idle and 50s at load. I haven't had a chance to...

a 295 when the new range of cards will probably be cheaper by then? If power usage is a big concern, then yes the 5850/5870 will use much less than a 4870 at idle. And they are much better in terms of performance per watt at load. Also, the Corsair HX750...

fan). By the catalyst standards, that's not very high for that card. ATI designed the card to have high temps. The 4870 also idles at around 70 unless you get a card with an aftermarket cooler. Im still going to get the same performance though ay? Does applying...
