Is the ATI HD 5870 (without overclocking) safe to run at stock cooling without any additional aftermarket cooling solutions?

ROFLMAO...YES! Its MADE for that man! Do you think a company would put out a product that wont run out of the box?
I was waiting for that to come out...and maybe that was the basis for his question. But the 480 still runs fine doesnt it? I mean who knows now in summer and when it gets dusty but.......Some have... the GTX 480 isn't what i would consider "safe" to run with stock cooling.

This question is....
Sigh YES it will be safe.
To be honest, no need to make fun of the question guys. It's a concern everyone can have.. Not everyone knows everything.
Anyway: Yes, it'll run very cool. Look how I increased the clock loads and bumped up the voltage loads and mine even runs without any issues! Maximum temperatures are around 60.
EDIT: I know mine is a 5850 but it's the same chip Your case has decen't cooling as well so I wouldn't worry.
