I have 2 1900 ati gpu's. Their idle temp is 63c and gamimg jumps to 90c. This seemed way too hot so I shut it down. Any suggestions? Im using the ati control center for my temp readings, is that accurate. Also, there does not seem like alot of cooling options with dual slot cards in crossfire (very tight placement).

Temps are in the ball park.Your idle temp is slightly hi.Check out tech power up and download ATI tool beta 15.You can adjust fan speeds amongest other things. :D

Thanks guys. I got the ati tool and cranked the fans to 60%. That did the trick 66c while gaming. Thats a 20c drop, awesome!
