I moved my 4890 to the secondary system after having upgraded to a 460 1GB. On a lark, I decided to check out the GPU temps on the 4890 with GPU-z since I had been using CCC to check temps before. This is for a Sapphire 4890 Vapor-X 1GB, not the OC edition and not OC'd by me.
GPU-z temps after about an hour of gaming:
Core 82C
DispIO 82.5C
MemIO 106.5C
Shaders 93.5C
Even at idle, the high MemIO temp remains and even the core temp isn't great:
Core 56C
DispIO 56C
MemIO 74C
Shaders 61.5C
Even with the fan set to 100%, the MemIO still hits 97.5C
Could this be a problem with the seating of the cooler on top of the chip? I still use the 4890 system for some gaming if the main rig is chewing through some video encoding so the temps are worrisome.
