How come mine runs so warm do you think? Its in an Antec 902 thats well cooled. Because its old tech and thats just what it runs at or because its never had the cooler removed and cleaned out?
Now I really wish I could swap for an MSI 470
Idle 37-43 Load 82-88 (dependant on room temp). KFA2 470 @ 625/1250.
Do you have the central heating on and turned up? Dust build up on the gfx heatsink/fan etc perhaps? Maybe you need to reapply a new round of thermalpaste.

My Sapphire 6850 has always run warm idle - 46C stock clocks. My 5770 used to be 37C. Fan is nice and quiet and I guess less of a temp difference between idle and load can only be better for thermal stress. It's really quiet, so perhaps the fan runs slower. Or maybe the heatsink isn't making good contact. Not sure.
It used to be warmer, but I found the IE8 smooth scrolling bug (it causes clocks to go to max when scrolling a web page with smooth scrolling enabled). Does the same in Firefox 4 beta too and Chrome, or so I heard, if GPU acceleration is enabled. Max clocks and volts for scrolling a webpage (GPU accelerated) and constant spikes of 57C is not acceptable so I hope AMD fix the drivers.
Load is about 65-75C gaming, 82C Furmark. Temps don't change that much when I ramp it up to 1000 core.
