IINM 4870X2 prices are $499.I think AMD will reduce it to $ 450
for HD 4870 maybe $ 250.As u guys know HD4850 price already cutted from $199 to $ 165.
I want more price wars!

side panel open on a bad air-flow casing would result it better airflow but not necessarily good air-flow. try use table fan blow at it.

uhm. i can't seem to change the fan speed. my CCC doesn't allow me to adjust or turn on the ATI Overdrive section so that may be the fault.

From another forum:

if you make a profile in catalyst after turning on Overdrive( make sure clock and memory settings are correct). You can then go to the file "C:\Users\Bretware\AppData\Local\ATI\ACE\Bretware. XML. the xml file will have the same name as the catalyst profile you saved. right click and hit edit.

<Feature name="FanSpeedAlgorithm_0">
<Property name="FanSpeedAlgorithm" value="Manual" />
</Feature>
<Feature name="FanSpeedRPMTarget_0">
<Property name="Want" value="0" />
</Feature>
<Feature name="FanSpeedPercentTarget_0">
<Property name="Want" value="65" />

Change the value to "manual" and Want value to "65"

Save the file then reload your profile in catalyst.

65% seemed perfect for me, 70% was loud but you may need it if your case has poor air flow.

You will may have to select the profile everytime you start the computer, but it will work until there is a fix or better info so i can figure how to change the auto target temp.
Good Luck ,bretware
