hehe i don't know why everybody is talking so big about the radeon 4870 being such a HOT card....
i received mine today and ran some benchmarks and played some games...
howevver the gpu is always @ the high 60 low 70 degrees (centigrade)
and the vrm's are always somewhere in the 50 sometimes hitting 60 degrees (centigrade)
haven't tried overclocking it yet but the temps seem pretty fine by me (i was expecting worse)
and my amb is just over 20 degrees and the fan of the card is prettymuch the whole time inoudible obove my med (1400 rpm) fans
was thinking of wcing this baby but now i am going to wait a litle while longer

(running catalist 8.8)

greats, dope
