I recently got myself an HD4870 (for Wintendo gaming; I'm on Linux when not gaming). I'm on radeonhd git master and the card's fan is spinning up all the time. That means the card runs too hot. In Windows XP, the fan is silent with the GPU idling at ~80C. That means in Linux the GPU runs a lot hotter than that *all the time*. Isn't this dangerous? The last thing I want is readonhd frying my expensive hardware.
