im getting worried that i might have been ripped off while buying from ebay,so is there any way to check that my card is in fact a 3870 or a 3850 with a bios flash because i cant find anywhere a sapphire 3870 that has a heatsink like the one i have but they do a 3850 with heatpipes.can i check by serial number or some other way?i'll add a pic soon

the pics were mainly to see if anyone had seen a 3870 by sapphire with that hs/f setup if you want a serial number i'll take another pic

still cant see any info at sapphire site about it ,if it is a legit 3870 then i want another one as at idle it sits about 25c ish
