The card was idling around 80C for me with stock fan/heatsink/BIOS settings so dont you think that's a bit high? Also I've done BIOS flashing quite a few times before for motherboard and VGA and never had something like this happen... also the flashing tool I used had a statement it suported HD4850 and HD4870 otherwise I wouldn't have used it... also the card was working fine even AFTER the BIOS flash and stoped working only 1-2h later... and you know, it would be more helpfull if you kept your useless comments for yourself... you got a working HD4870? If yes and you are happy with it then good for you, if not... don't comment on things you haven't had experience with... maybe if you did get one and it would die on you "justlike that" you would be here talking other way around...
