hello im running 2x 5870s in xfire my idle temps are 45 on first card and 40 on 2nd. this seems alot higher than other peoples. this is on stock voltage and no ocing

getbigtony

take one out and check temps
crossfire will build up heat in between them

What are your full load temps. because you have two, the top card will get some heat from the bottom card as heat rises. Try making the inside of your PC more tidy for better airflow and add case fans.

Those temps not close to hot and one card will always be warmer than the other, heat rises.

alright thank you for the help

BradleyW

No problem mate.
Try not to overclock if your temperatures are too high. At least you don't have to overclock your 5870 because you have two of them.

Great rig!

You have 30~40C to go until the cards will start dying. You're cool.
