My thoughts exactly, there will be boat loads of people wondering why their cards are overheating

I do hope they take every possible measure to make this card overclockable. The hd 3xxx series was horrible in this reguard.

May be they'll use something like Sapphire's Vapor-X. http://www.hardwarecanucks.com/forum...-review-6.html . My Toxics run much cooler then the dual slot HD3870 I started with. I think Sapphire's Atomic HD3870 had highest factory OCing you could get and it had Vapor-X.

Agreed, I love my 3870 Toxic. It runs so cool and it's pretty quiet too. My friend with 3870 crossfire with reference coolers used to get so pissed when we'd compare temps.

Don't the 4870's run hot because a driver issue with controlling the fan speed?

yeah, it's an easy fix though. There's no good reason the next driver wont fix this.
