i have the Sapphire edition of this card..i was just fiddling with rivatuner and im kind of surprised how good the stock cooler is..at stock speeds it sucks basically (idles around 75)..but when i turn it up to 50% speed it now idles at 43C
anyway the sound it makes isnt pleasant for 24/7 though..

my EK block should be on the way in a couple of days (waiting for some parts to come in stock first...)..i will add my results too then
There is a good article on [H]ardOCP on how to adjust the fan on the 4870x2. Anyone looking to get better temps who aren't watercooling should check it out
