The GPU temp on the 3870 hits 80c - 90c (Idles around 55 - 60c) within about 30 seconds under this load, which is not that unusual temp wise .. so I dont know what this could be..

2) Have tried Speedfan,Coretemp ATI overdrive and EVEREST and all these apps report temps on my 5000+ BE to be around 4c for Core 1 and Core 2 14c idle.. needless to say these are a bit wrong. Gigabytes Easy Tune Pro reports CPU temp at around 25c idle. This makes any attempt to stress test for temps impossible at stock never mind any OC.

First the availabity of the mobo was an issue then case issues and now this ..
Temperatures reported by CoreTemp are in line with other 65nm Brisbane's so nothing to worry about. EasyTune is showing temp from external sensor placed under CPU socket and that is quite good indication of CPU temperature.

But your graphics cards are out of spec big way! This is not right... Keep us updated!

PS. I'm getting my 2x3870 hopefully today!
