Default 6970 temp question
hey guys,

picked up a Sapphire 6970 2gb reference the other day and did some digging for the temps.

from what i can tell, idle should be ~35 degrees? Mine is currently running around 50 degrees with the fan automatically set at about 26%. I haven't overclocked this or anything, any suggestions on what to do, or is this normal?

Thanks.

depending on some factors, 50c with 26% is not that bad :)

more importantly,hows load temps? 3dmark/furmark?
