4870 Crossfire

[magicroundabout]

just installing my second card tonight and have a little worry my PSU isn't powerful enough.

can someone confirm whether it'll be ok for my setup?

your right it works a treat.

Vantage score before crossfire was: 11160

i'm only at 1440x900 but next pay cheque will bring either a 22" or 24" monitor. Need an upgrade badly as my old ACL1916W is getting past it.

i have noticed my legs are a lot warmer now with two cards pumping hot air at me

That is one clean looking setup you have there. Very nice.

cheers mate. Have noticed i need to up my fan when benching as temps get hot and have had the comp restart a couple of times.

just a quick question in temp monitoring.

with my crossfire setup now my GPU temps idle around 54deg top card & 52deg bottom card.

Just had a solid hour on Crysis and temps were around 68/66deg and possibly went a little more higher. I assume these are good temps?
