well need to know room temp and what the fan speed of the x2 is before i say it's to high, but i want a watercooled one anyway:up:

I'm sure it runs "too hot" just like my 4870's ran "too hot." (they idled at 46/40C w/ the fan hack.)

That stock HS will be off so fast it won't matter anyway.

Is this thing going out already :D

That Tweaktown review was a complete waste of time. Half of it was run without AA, a quarter of it was synthetic benchmarks, and all the CrossfireX runs were on a P45? I mean WTF.. that board does not have the bandwidth to handle CrossfireX. They even published a review in the past showing what a bottleneck it was with multi-GPU setups.
