I got a prebuild computer from dell for 200 bucks.
Specs :
Intel i7 extreme
ATI Radeon 4870X2
6gb of ram
The cpu is cooled by H2C Ceramic cooling.
But now I noticed that my gpu idles at around 75 and as soon as I start a game it goes up to 90-95 and stays at around 85-90 when I exit the game.
Is this normal ?
GPU-Z screenies :
(it actually shows it has 2 gpu's build in, top 1 is the first and the second on is the one on the bottom)

$200 or $2000
and the 4xxx series runs REALLY hot, especially the 4870x2
and the case probably sucks with airflow
200 euro. Also when I start a game the second one instantly goes to 100 work load and the first one (the one with the 26 degrees) has no work load at all

Also do I need to worry about the 90-94 degrees ?

turned the fan speed up a bit (with no extra noise :) and it reduced it to a idle 68 and when playing 78

4870's are notoriously hot, my 4870x1 runs at 80c idle

That computer only cost you 200 Euros? I want one.
While that is hot it is nothing to worry about and is to be expected from the HD48XX series. I had a HD4850 that idled at 72C and hit 98C on load (until I got an after market cooler). As long as it doesn't really break 95C it will be alright.
