Post your 4870 temperature

XFX 4870

HSF: stock
Thermal paste: AS5
Core Clock: 750
VRAM Clock: 900
Idle: 62C
Loaded: 65-67C
Comments: About a month old, always thought the idle temp was high. But since at load the temps weren't much higher, I just left it as is. Idle fan speed is at around 50%, ramps up when gaming. It's pretty quiet though, my case fans are louder.
 
HSF: stock
Thermal paste: AS Ceramique
Core Clock: 750
VRAM Clock: 900
Idle: 59C
Loaded: 65-69C
Comments: Hacked bios to 30% idle fan speed, scales upwards as temps increase, 100% at 90C. Getting an Arctic Cooling Accelero s1 rev 2 soon, supposedly these things work wonders and ANYTHING beats that noisy stock fan, will post after I order and install it.

HSF: Asus Dark Knight Non-Reference Cooler
Thermal paste: Shin Estu G71
Core Clock: 815mhz
VRAM Clock: 925mhz
Idle: 50c
Loaded: 85c (20min+ of Furmark)
Comments: its a different cooler than reference so it has a smaller fan. it runs at 60% at stock speeds which is pretty damn loud (2400rpm :eek:). I lower it manually to about 30% and then the idle temps go up to around 55c. Load at 30% fan speed causes artifacting and temps in the 100's. I put it on auto when gaming.
