Ok...I'm running out of patience with this and Google has been absolute useless.
This pathetic and from my understanding, it is an ongoing issue that has yet to be resolved. Why the hell doesn't AMD solve this problem? I'm sick and tired of having to browse the web in the middle of a lava pit! There is no reason why my room should be 95F when I'm sitting on my PC browsing the internet or working on a paper.
Before when I had two HD 6870s in crossfire mode, they would both run at 60C IDLE powering up two simple monitors. Now, I have an HD 7950 which idles at 56C while running two monitors. 56C, with a single monitor, is GAME RUNNING TEMPERATURE for my 7950.
My room temp is 26C, I have a MASSIVE case with good airflow (HAF 932) and my CPU runs very cool 30C.
Yesterday, I figured I'd run CompUSA and purchase a second video card (HD 5450) to run the second monitor...that ought to bring down my card to it's single monitor idle temperatures of 36C.
Guess what...
Someone please help me out before I throw this second monitor out the window.
