2 quick updates:
- Yes, I am using Arctic Silver 5.
- Both 7800 GTX's idle at 60 C and under load hit 85 C
Thanks,

Update:
I haven't seen any temps higher than 51 C on my CPU!!
What did I do you ask? Two things:
1. I lowered my core voltage from 1.4 V to 1.275 V. This is not good for trying to overclocking, but in this hot system, it was crucial.
2. I modded my case! I added an Antec 120 mm fan right next to the dual 7800's to blow their increadibly hot air out of the case (and thus preventing the CPU from attempting to cool with it).
Considering the 7800's get up to 80 C, the hot air they spew out was sufficating the AMD. Poor thing!
One last note: Based on AMD's website, the critical temperature on the 4800+ is indeed 65 C, so I was riding a very thin line.
Hope this info helps somebody,

If you are not overclocking have you tried to enable Cool and Quit in the bios? This will slow your processor down to less than 1ghz and lower you voltage. Tempatures will drop allot. Worked good for me. |
