Re: His 4850 512mb running very hot!

open the ATI control centre and then open overdrive. Enable it. The tick fan control and turn it to 30%

you say the fans are on 70% if so yes its to hot well to hot

You say you took it apart? all the way down to the gpu? I take it you cleaned up the old compound and added new stuff?

My 4870 runs @ around 75 under load
