[QUOTE="Inker, post: 296291, member: 10541"] I did touch it, and even just after booting, maybe 15 minutes into doing nothing but showing an idle desktop it was not only warm, like a heatsink on a cpu that has 50°, but really really hot. I also remember looking at the temp in the catalyst, don't ask me any specific numbers but I think it was ~65 or so. It went up to over 85° when doing some 3d stuff. On the desktop machine I have an overclocked HD2600xt (but with a fan of course) and on an idle Vista desktop it never exceed 50°, I think it gets close to 75-80 under load, but I'm not sure. Do you think this is normal and I should have kept it? I figured it heats the (small) htpc case way too much so that other components will get hot too. [/QUOTE]
