My 5850 has been getting hot latelly what with games that actually push it (Bad Company 2, Just Cause 2) compared to the games I used to play that didn't really push it at all (Source engine)
I'm pretty damn sure 87 degrees is pushing it into the going to die zone, what can I do to make it not heat up so much? I tried putting the fan at 50% in CCC but it just stayed at 24%.
Also it idle's at about 55C. I'm clearly doing something wrong or don't know anything about temps.
That's fine.

The temps, that is.
Really?
Because to me 87C seems like it would be dying sideways.

Oh see right there.
How can I fix it? CCC does nothing
For a 5850, 87C load isn't crazy.
Right now it feels high 60's low 70's.
From an Anandtech review of the 5850:

87C can be dust, hot case, or any number of things. It's fine.
Ok, thanks for that.
Also, can I ask what the stock clocks are for a 5850? Because if mine is heating up to 5870 temps I'd like to ASSUME....

725 Core clock.
1000 Memory Clock.
Also use a program with a fan speed curve.
