Default 4870 CF temps are high?
Just installed my 2nd 4870 in my case. I made a post about the closeness of the cards being in slot 1 and 2 and thinking they would not get enough air. They do seem rather hot...is it normal for them to be this toasty idle?



They look way overheated to me...

What kind of coolers do you have on your cards? And what do the temps look like under load? Those seem high for idle temps.
