Reefer86 · Feb 11, 2010

Yeah loving it over my 4890, great little beast, just dam hot! Need more air flow for that thing, but im sorting that with a newer case lol. when nvidia replys im gona grab a 5970 with the hopefull price drop it brings. What are the idle temps on that 5970 human?

umm around 50-55 degrees idle, which is a lot better than the 65-69 degrees i got with the x2. Load she barely breaks 85 degrees with my current overclock for long sessions.

Reefer86 · Feb 11, 2010

so what overclock you getting on that 5970?

cdawall · Feb 11, 2010

cdawall | Sapphire 4870X2 (flashed asus top) | 750/950

well she's at 850/1200(4800 actual) from stock 725/1000 with a small voltage bump (volts are half way between a 5970 and a 5870 for the core) - i'll probably get to putting the volts to the same as on a 5870 and then see what i get (hopefully over 950core since i only went for 5870xfire speeds until i have some OC time to tinker).

Reefer86 · Feb 11, 2010

ah nice! alot better then trying to overclock this sucker!

jhine5588 · Feb 11, 2010

How come everyone is complaining about idle temps on their X2's? Mine idles at 47C and that's with the fan only running at 35%. It only idled a few degrees over that before I changed the thermal grease. I wouldn't think my case flows that much better than some others...

(FIH) The Don · Feb 11, 2010

because mine had been flashed to a top bios = small overclock

jhine5588 · Feb 11, 2010

Ah ha... Yeah, I'm running stock clocks. I don't dare go much higher due to the heat it produces now, especially with the VRAM.

Hi to all!

A few weeks ago I run my rig under H20 but not happy with temps.
It's not much better then aircooler around 90°C under VDDC.
Can you see where could be a problem?

First of all welcome to TPU, and to this special 4870X2 thread

That indeed is high temps for a water cooled system, im not much into it sorry, but ill give it a shot.

i would see if the water is pumping through the Video card and at a correct flow to dissipate the heat in time?

Also i think you have to use the correct coolant? im sorta guessing, so make sure that is also correct, and that the water block is connected tight and snug to the card?

Hope this helps?

My card idles at 32c and hits maybe 39c under load

what is your fan direction on the bottom rad? looks like your blowing alot of hot air across the card

Kreij · Mar 14, 2010

I just read the MIS 5870 Lightning review and our beloved 4870x2s are still holding their own :toast:

Out-performs that 5870 on lots of benches, even if it does suck more power than 3 100w lightbulbs under extreme loads. lol

That's correct but it couldn' make such a difference.
You have a max of 39 at VDDC thats impossible*

Melvis · Aug 16, 2010

Well i thought id let ya guys know that i have upgraded my system with new RAM, CPU, Mobo and PSU, and i must say the increase in performance in some games is just wonderful, im now seeing the full potential of the 4870X2

Running Crysis at the moment DX10, Everything on High, 1600*1200, 4xAA and the FPS is just great.

Ill post a screen shot of what i got in a few mins.
