I just recently bought a shapphire 4870 1gb this one to be exact http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...-849-_-Product
I was idle at about 75 deg c. with an outside temp of over 100 deg southern california heat. I was ok with this temp cause i came from a 4870 512 and it idled around the same. but the problem with this card i have now is that the fan is very loud. So i went out and got an artic cooling s1 rev 2. just got done installing it and now im hitting 98 deg c idle then i played som sf4 and it loaded up to 116 deg !!! I am in a lan box lite but added stronger 60 mm fans throughout the case i woudl say i have decent air flow in the box. i dunno what to do im pretty bumbed feel like i wasted my money
