Hi guys, just got a powercolor 7870 card for mining (7870XT) and its running really hot. Stock clocks it says are 925 core 1500 memory 975 boost core clock. I am running it at -3 power 950/1400 and its still hitting 84c every now and then (stable at 83) with the fan going up to 70%. Underneath it I have a 6950 dedicated to mining LTC and that is not unlocked (1408 shaders) but its running at +5 power/925 core/1350 mem and at 19 intensity stays at 76c with the fan only being at 56%. Considering the stock clocks of the 6950 are wayyyy before what I have overclocked it to and yet I am underclocking the 7870XT and its still over 80c am I worried, and while it is a sapphire dirt3 edition 6950 so it has 2 fans compared to the 1 on the 7870XT... its still strange

Any info? thanks guys.
