basically every single post i read about an ati hd 4870,
they say something about the heat nearing 70-80 when idle and near 90+ when under stress.

Ya, you shouldn't even question it. Just go on like nothing is happening or the card may notice and turn its temps up on ya and you wouldn't want that now would ya?
