Yeah, I've read the 4850's can get up to 90 C on full load (vat das fook?) but people claim after a fan hack they can keep it at 50 C.

With the Raptor, is it really worth it? I've been able to find good results on all the other components pointing to great performance, but will the Raptor give me much benefit in games at all besides load times? I'm thinking if I can cut a few $ here and there, I can bump up the video card a bit, as I was really close to going with 4870s. When should the 4870 GX2 come out?
