Hi guy's i recently installed a 4870x2 to my system and my temps seems really high, now i understand that this will be a hot card with 2 gpus on one pcb but they do seem very high to me.
Is the temps im getting what i should expect from a 4870 x2? The other thing that struck me is that the card is hot but the fan is only at 25% should it be this low when the temps high, it does spin up when gaming, but during gaming i cant touch the card as it would seriously burn if i left my hand on there too long.
BTW, im in awe of the 4870x2's power this is one hell of an upgrade over a single 4890, Everything ive played just runs so sweet!
Also while im posting about temps how are my other temps looking over all on my system.
I have made taken 2 pic's one about 2-3 min's after gaming and one with the system idle.
My CPU is water cooled by 2 rad's (one 360 and one 120), the 4870x2 is on stock cooling and the motherboard is the stock heat-pipe passive design.
2-3 mins after gaming
system idle
A view inside the case
Thanks guys. Reefer
