I bought a 4850 a couple weeks ago, seems to be working fine. I am still unsure if I am giving it enough power however. I have a Corsair HX520 which I know has enough power, but I'm just unsure of the cable I used to connect the video card and the psu. The card came with a 6-pin cord that had 2 molex connectors on the other side of it. But instead I used a 6-pin cable that came with the modular psu, it connects directly between the two. I'm assuming this is alright, but I just want to make sure.
I set the card fan speed to 75% when playing games that keeps it around 70-75 and when idle just under 60 degrees. HWMonitor says my GPU temp is 1.08v when idle. I know the inside of my case gets hot (my cpu gets towards 60 C under load), but are these temps normal?
