Hi,
I seem to have some problems with my 5 month old gigabyte 7970 ghz oc edition. This situation is from day 1, but i thought it's normal.
Idle temperature: 50
Load temperature: 81 in Splinter Cell Blacklist (ultra settings), lower in other games but not that much.
The fan is on auto so its very very loud :)

No overclock has been done on this card.
My case is Fractal Design R4, a very good one, i think.
I currently live in Norway, so it's not so hot over here.

Overall i think this is way too hot. I saw that people have 26 degrees in idle.

Thank you for your patience reading this, and thank you in advance for your help regarding my problem.
