I usually do the latter and it seems to keep the fan dialed really low untill the card gets over 50c, then it will spin it up to 20-30%. Mine is currently clocked at 700 core and 910 mem.

Well what version do you have mine I can't control mine through CCC but Riva tuner I can but I don't know if that does anything.

Mine's a sapphire (in my sig rig). I can control mine though CCC, but I'm really happy with the auto setting.

Perhaps check that the heat sink is properly seated and has some decent thermal compound on it?

Ah see mine has no fan control in the CCC but it only get's that hot on CoD4 I believe also I'm running stock clocks on mine.

Well its something youll have to deal with. Think of it this way, if you card dies like a year from now, you'll RMA it and you could potentially get a better card back if 4830's are out of the market/inventory by then.
