Are these cards supposed to run that hot? I have both fans on both of the ASUS TOP version running at 100% (says my fan monitoring) and I still get these outrageous temps.

I haven't done anything to the cards, I just popped them in.

Please help,

Thanks in advance,

David

um 60c is pretty normal

Is that load or idle temps?

 

[Tohdman]

It's safe for it to run that hot but does seem high for idle. My 4890 runs at 55c idle at 30% fan speed.

wat are ur ambient temps?seem normal to me. considering its summer

 

[WDC]

Those are all idle. Not sure what the ambiant is, though. Again, fans are at 100%

 

[Ramzinho]

do you have a good air flow in your case? also ambient temperature is very important. and i've seen many 4890 idle at that temperature.

so i guess it's alright

Hmm they -seem- a bit high for idle temps, but it is the load temps you should ultimatly be worried about.
Do you know what they are? If not, run something stressful and post back..

EDIT: You are running in crossfire also.. crossfire will be hotter then just 1 card

Let me get Folding working. Then we'll see. I'm kinda scared to burn them up, lol.

100% on fans and ur getting 60/61? How hot is it in ur room, u aint got you're computer new the window where the sun can get to it? good cable management? maybe ur cooler isn't on properly?

Alot of options there can be. I'm an owner of a 4870, fans at 40%, runs at 47c. i know its no the 4890 but i dont think the heat difference would be that huge

and 100% on you're fan, dam that must be loud XD its like a jet taking off.

4890s run very hot
I get 65-70C load

 

[Diabolical999]

Your fans are not at 100%, otherwise they wouldn't be spinning at a measely 1200rpm, like it says they are. At 100%, it spins at 4000rpm, fyi.

EDIT: Open GPU-Z, hit the Sensors tab, post a shot.

I can't get folding to work on my 64 bit Win 7. Can someone recommend something else to peg it with?

Then apparently my fan program is reporting incorrectly, or I'm reading it incorrectly. Thanks for the FYI.

+ REP to all

Anything. 3Dmark, ATI Tool (although that might only load 1 card), gaming for 10mins..

Same here, both mine idle 38c fan speed 60%

 

[northbayvallejo]

BTW, Make sure you change the fan speed for both cards, there should be a drop down tab on CCC. Same thing you should do when overclocking, Not sure if your aware of this or not, just a FYI
