    XFX Radeon 6850 Temps

    Weirdly, when I close Chrome the Memory clock stays at 1050mhz unless I disable and enable the second monitor!

    XFX Radeon 6850 Temps

    XFX Radeon 6850 Temps

    Hi, I recently bought a XFX Radeon 6850 and I'm little surprised how loud it runs. Under general use (WIN 7, Photoshop, web browser, email, Visual Studio) it seems to hover around 60°C - 65°C with the fan at 65%, does that sound normal? At the moment I have one side the case open to...
