3870 Temps...

[AmongTheChosenX]

I have a visiontek 3870 card, i don't remember what temps it was at cause my PC's been down cause of my Mobo RMA...

but I was wondering what kind of temps you guys got with these.

asking mainly cause visiontek cards have this crappy stock cooler that doesn't blow any air out the back of the case, it goes out the vents in the top (or bottom of case) of the card.
I'm thinking this causes higher temps, so i'm wondering what temps you guys get with the ATI Reference Stock Cooler, as in this cards cooler:

My cooler looks like this:

I have this Asus card and I idle at 38 and load at 61 in Oblivion and BF2. It seems to be a fantastic cooler.

its not the "stock" cooler that comes on Visiontek cards, its the actual stock cooler that comes on most 3870's correct?
