Got my Sapphire 5830 Xtreme yesterday and I've been steadily ramping it up to its eventual failure @ 1020mhz core. I've found it's stable at 1010mhz core with memory underclocked to 300mhz. This is all at stock voltage, and frankly I couldn't be happier with what this card turned out to be capable of.

313.5Mh/s @ 1010mhz core 300mhz memory stock voltage -k phatk VECTORS BFI_INT AGGRESSION=12 FASTLOOP=false WORKSIZE=256 (in regards to 128 vs 256, for me at these settings the 256 worksize actually bumps my hash rate 5Mh/s)

Whats the card temp and ambient temp?

Ambient is 30C. Card idles @ 40C, full load @ 70C

Unless you have your case opened up with a high CFM fan blowing right on your card, or you're water/oilcooled, I call BS on your 70*C full load @ 1010Mhz....

I am not impressed with my Sapphire Xtreme at all when it comes to temps and how loud the fan is even at 70%. Also, this is my second one. I returned the first one because I said it ran too hot, but this new one is the same. I run at 925Mhz and temps run in the low-mid 70's. And that's with a Coolermaster CM690 case with six 140mm fans running. If I run at 950Mhz I get 74-77*C but the fan gets too annoying and I'm trying to not kill this card.

My ASUS 5830 DirectCU run MUCH cooler, and the fan is MUCH quieter. Clocked at 975Mhz, the ASUS runs at 70*C with 60% fan.

I'm currently on the lookout for another ASUS to crossfire instead of the Sapphire Xtreme. Then I can throw the Saphhire Xtreme in my rig in the basement so I don't have to hear it or worry about temps...

I do have a room fan blowing at the case, but the case is closed up and the fan is across the room. However, the fan is right infront of the AC duct so its circulating the cold air that way. But yeah, I have the GPU fan stuck at 90% and remember the Xtremes have upgraded HSFs.

The ASUS DirectCU setup looks awesome. If I had my choice of any 5830, it would have been that one hands down.
