How are these temps

id guess thats idle temps whichs seem average

load it up and see, i cant do my 4870's on passiv they just progressively get warmer up to 75 deg or so
 
those are good idle temps for passive cooling, I have my stock fan set to 50% and it idles at 47,
Load 72

@ zod96 "For PASSIVE fan your doing great".

NOTE:
If you do anything at all to a stock 4850/4870 including using aftermarket coolers with Fan/NoFan i recomend using MX-2 on GPU

..My experiance has been great doing so with all Nvidia/ATi factory cards..

Paste of Choice went from AS5 and to MX-2 and has been MX-2 hands down ever since i made the change over stock paste and or AS5..

Example :

3870x2 Oced to the Max in AMDtool with stock cooler and MX-2 on GPU's only.


Factory Heatsink/MX-2 and Fan 100% and Benched!
