    thats strange considering this guy made a 3d wave similar that overheats his 5870. i wonder why the throttling would not be working here or maybe it isnt throttling enough.

    Seems like a different situation there....sounds like the cooler on the core just isn't doing its job, maybe poor contact or a very restricted intake at the fan?
