Default HD 4870 What should be the GPU VRM temp in everest ?

if I run the furbenchmark the temp of the GPU VRM goes up to 126celcius !! and that the GPU VRM is using 75 A ?

Is it a normal temp and voltage usage ?

You can see the temp in real time by running the benchmark in a window.

Sounds like you got a bad card, I'd RMA it.

Are you having any problems out of the card? You can't always count on 3rd party software to read correctly. I can tell you up front that the card isn't using 75A.

Well still crashing using furbenchmark, and rel light is on

Well I reinstall the original heatsink and now it's fine... Maybe when using the metal plate that came with the Accelero to cool the Voltage regulator it made contact with something ?
