It seems like my 4870 512MB is running really hot compared to what everyone else is saying. I have the one with the non reference cooler labeled "Silent Efficiency" yet it's not silent or efficient at all LOL.

That's the card I have and if you read all the customer reviews, everyone is getting great temps. Here's some screen shots of mines on idle and load:
I got great air flow in my case and it's really cold in my room as you can see it idles at mid 40's with fan speed only at 10%. I've also tried with my side panel open but that only helped about 2C.
Using ATI Tray Tools artifact tester, the GPU gets to 77C and 63% fan speed in less than 2 minutes.
I've already tried 3 different power supplies, Corsair HX520, PCP&C Silencer 500W, and a Enermax Modu+ 625W. I've also made sure the cooler was making good contact with the GPU. I cleaned off the stock TIM and used AS5 and that helped about 4C.
Is there something wrong with mines? Should I get it replaced? IMO this seems too hot and at this rate, it won't run at all when summer comes LOL.
