4870 idle temps?

[Bradmax57]

What kind of temps are people getting on idle on a 4870? mines 77C not sure if thats good, bad or average, seems kinda high?

I'm getting 77c & 78c ish (2 cards) idle, does not go much higher under load, rather it was lower though tbh.

"After experimenting with my HIS HD4870 I found a fan-speed of 40% works best for me. My temps went from 79C at idle to 49C, and now 47C"
