    Yeah, any card staying under 80 after 3 hours is really doing well. Glad to hear about the beta fix. Sounds like it has helped a lot of folks get great performance from the card. I went through this a few years ago, with different issues on the 5870m and AMD fixed the drivers. Great card. Have fun and enjoy.

    How's yours doing Hula, i remember you having some of the best temps on the p150em.

    Btw Thanks for the dedication in getting this fix, I would've done more but I've been busy for the past 3 months with work/school.

    i used Gelid GC Extreme, dropped temps on mine and my fiance's laptop. Much easier to apply than most paste as well.
