So to all of you out there that is scared of this block i can say that it`s nothing to be worried about. I downloaded the pdf manual and followed it.
I do not mean to be rude, but those temps are terrible. I use the DangerDen 4870x2 block and my voltmodded 4870x2 running @ 900mhz on the cores loads at only 40C....
