    Does anyone know why my 5870M goes from 100/150 to 500/1000 when I'm not doing anything? I finished playing a game and it took about 20 minutes to drop the clock speeds to 100/150 then an hour later it goes back up to 500/1000. The weird thing is the fan doesn't even kick on and it just sits at 60C-65C. This only happens on the GPU0 card.
