If anyone has been getting annoyed with high temps on the 4870 this might be of interest, i have been going crazy with the temps on a stock cooler.
Everest was reporting
53c (dispIO)
86c! (memIO)
56C (Shader)
I knew i had to sort out the temps because the above were at idle too. At load theyd be about 85/110/75.
I tried the accelero S1 on it and the changes where incredible, if anyone wants to cool there 4870 on air go for the S1 and put a 120 or 2 x 120's on the cooler, its cheap as hell and effective as hell. Heres my temps in GPUZ now.
At load now i know for sure that the gpu core is around 65c which is more than better on air for a 4870 and well within the temp limits, also ignore the fan speed, thats just what the card would set the fan at itself if there was a stock fan attached to the card, i have my 120 at 100%. Let us know what you think Peeps and post your experiences.
