    Okay so the 6850fx is somewhat notorious for running hot. The earlier models sometimes have a gap between the GPU and the heatsink, letting for very poor cooling. Also the CPU and GPU in this processor share the same heatsink, so it can get a little crowded. I've posted this data in the ICD7 thread, but the results I got were so amazing I thought I'd make a separate thread for them. Check out my temperature results at FULL LOAD on the CPU before and after the application. I ran the CPU load independent of the GPU as they both use the same heatsink. I'll post my GPU results momentarily.

    Summing it Up:
    Load Test, 18 Minute Long for both.
    Load CPU Temp Before: 83 Celcius
    Load CPU Temp After: 68 Celcius

    Load GPU Temp Before: 87 Celcius
    Load GPU Temp After: 72 Celcius
