Won a XFX 6850 from AMD a few weeks ago, so replaced the 5770 with it. Saw the idle temps was 57c and max temps are 79c on Furmark after 15 mins. Idle temps are a bit warm for me but is the load temps fine? Also room temp is about 27c... my room has poor ventilation :(.
 
Little warm, but still fine.

Mine idles at just under 40, so less than 20c above ambient in my room.

Might be worth sending back as it may be a bad mount or something.
 
Yes I was thinking it could be a poorly mounted card. Forgot to mention I also changed cases from the HAF 932 to a Lian Li PC-V354B, which is a lot more compact. I also have triple monitors whcih I heard could cause a bump in idle temps as well. So 79c is fine for the card?

EDIT: Unplugged two of the monitors and idle temps fell to 43c :eek: Guess I was worrying over nothing? :p
