Hi,
I just put my new HD3850 in, and it's really hot! The plastic on the fan and complete card is almost too hot to touch, I first noticed it when unplugging the DVI cable from the back, it was boiling. I know they run at low fan speeds and I intend to put it up to 60% but I just want to check that it is normal for it to run at that temperature, it's worrying me.
Just in case its relevant in terms of PC heat, it's the HIS HD3850 256mb and the rest of the PC is 3800+, 1gb DDR2 667, 2x dvd, 1x hd, fan controller, 4 80mm fans, 430w thermaltake.
Thanks,
From Josh
