I have it overclocked to 620/2000 and after a few long hours of neverwinter I exited and the temp was at 80*C according to ATITool, that seems a bit hot.... i've done stress testing in ATITool to look for artifacts but I dont have a clue for how long im supposed to test for, but I've been playing neverwinter for 5+ hrs today with no sign of artifacts.

Not to mention, this 8800 is brand new I bought it yesterday, its the basic eVGA model with stock clocks.
 
Mine is running 70º (idle) at stock speeds ... 85º ish when i play ... (good cooled box and room :rolleyes: )
 
70*C idle? mine runs at 56~ idle depending on room tempurate at 500/2000
 
Mine idles anywhere from 66* to 70* depending on if I open my door to let the room cool down some more. These things are rated to be safe up to 100* so I wouldn't worry unless you were starting to really climb into the 90s.
 
ya 80C is fine for your card under load but thats still very hot for the speeds your running. Do you have your fan set to 100%? and did you remember to open up another slot on your computer so your cards fan is blowing outside the case.

With my card running at 650/2030 I get an idle of 62C and a load of about 75C.
 
I don't think my fan is set to 100% but it sounds like my temps are cooler than others, how can I adjust fan speed?
 
get rivatuner 2.01, you can adjust fan speed and overclock or underclock your card if desired with it.
