I have a 6800 NU, and the temp probe that comes built in has been acting strange for a couple of weeks now. It started when I went to a friends house when I started up my comp the nvidia driver was telling me that my card was 150C+, but I know that it is not because I touched the back of the core and it was cool to the touch. And if I touch the card back by the power connecter the temp drops back down to where it should be around 43c max.

Should I send it in to newegg and get a replacement, or do you think it is just a problem with the builtin temp probe? I dont think this is causing any performance\ stability problems

O and I know that this could be in the overclocking and cooling area, but I thought it would be
best in the video card area
 
If your getting performance problems, or if it really bugs you then yes i would contact Newegg if its still within their RMA period and get it replaced. Sometimes this can be a hassle and if the only problem your having is a temperature reporting incorectly some of the time, i really wouldnt worry about it to be honest. But the decision is yours.

Pro's of return
new card
no temp problem

Con's
shipping and handleing back to new egg
waiting for new card
possibility of getting new card with diff problem.


again tho you didnt mention if this effected performance or not....
