Hello
I just upgraded from my 8800gt to a Sapphire 6870. There are two things that concern me.When the card was idle for about 10 minutes it jumped the fan from 30 to 70. And the clock speeds jumped too, I was just doing regular windows usage. I also have a micro ATX motherboard and a sound card. I feel like they are way too close to each other, will that damage the video card or sound car?. When i was playing bad company 2 i could feel how hot it got by my legs where my case is at. I have a anatec 9000 case and turn all the fans on High but it sounds like a plane is here :/. Here are the some pictures describing my problems.
