Hello newbie here, i just got the Artic Cooling Twin Turbo for my 4870, and its using the power from the GC, at 100% fan speed in Catalyst the temp only goes down to 50% in idle, yes its really quiet although in 100%, but i read reviews showing it actually should be cooler. Is it a problem with the power, or should i be using a different software to control the fan speed?

I got 1 and it's idling @ 48 deg.

I also read somewhere that you might want to connect the fan's power to your MB rather than your GC. The extra voltage will help increasing the fan's speed and decrease the temp.

But be aware, the noise might be audible compared to your setup now.
