i need help :/ My 4850 temperature when i'm not doing anything is at about 80° WTF!?

When i'm playing something it goes up to 105° and my computer shuts down :/ I put extra FAN on my computer to cool down graphic but it's not helping at all :O Any help?

@damaoker The new CCC should have fan controls

Hi guys i m planning to get a new XFX ATI 4870 1 gb card...would u recommend it?i mean r the heating problems serious???

[Kentalish]

@umair376 you wont have any heating issues

i thought that the 4800s graphic card the factory makes it handle 90° plus?

[Kentalish]

yea but its also not good to have a really hot card the colder the better.. plus you never know you could have you card at 90 then it gets hot in your room then you play a game like crysis at high settings and it goes up and you wont know what temp you have if you dont have a second monitor or a g-15 keyboard

my 4870 stays at 48 degrees in idle @ 28% fan, while in load stays at 75 degrees @ 42% fan. I'm using ATT e sincerly this is the best graphic cards software i've ever used.

ps excuse my bad english i'm italian ;)

My 4870 is getting dirty again so its temps are ~70c at 70% fan speed idle and ~90c %80-100 fan speed load. when it is clean it stays around 60c at 40% fan speed and 70-80c 60-70% fan speed load. I have the HIS iceq cooler and it sounds like a hair dryer when i pump it up. The heat in my case has been making my i7-920 idle around 50-60c when normally it idles 35-40c and maxes at 75c under prime95 load. Im waiting on my Sapphire 6950 to arrive. I hear they have waaaay cooler temps.

is the ati 4850 card really safe at 98 load moved my fan speed from default to 62% will this decrease the life of my card?

@anis5881 Was it new? Should idle around 40-50. 60-80 gaming depends...

Could be dust within the fan/heatsink. I cleared mine out went from 90 gaming to 50. lol
