    my 3870 seems to run the fan at 40% all the time, it idles about 50c

      It's possible for ATi as well.

      That sounds about normal.

        Radeon 4850 here, my fan also runs around 40% all the time. Idle temp is 42c~46c.

        It's an XFX model with a monstrous heatsink and a blower fan.

          Mine was one of the launch models, is yours the original dual-slot red cooler?
