Temps on 8800 GTS?

Hey gang,

I have recently come back to Nvida, purchased a BFG 8800 GTS 640 mb card (
overclocked) here about a week ago.
I have been very happy with the results.

Just wanted to ask a question, in regards to GPU temps. I added some extra
cooling for my system, which is doing a great job bringing my system and cpu
temps down. I also have a pci card cooler just below the video card.

Anyways, as measured in NV Monitor, my GPU on the GTS typically runs around
61C at the desktop, and while running a 3d game gets up to 70-72C.

I know my Radeon X850XT that I had previously, was running hotter than that
when I had it in, but that was also before I added the extra cooling.


How does this stack up in regards to temps for the GTS, about right?

Thanks for any feedback,

My same video card runs essentially the same temps.

Thanks Dave. I figured those temps were probably ok, just wanted to check
with others to know for sure.

Currently mine runs 54C to 62C (idle - load).
