I was having some serious overheating issues with my new GTX 460 1GB EE model card. Games would easily peak at or around 100'c within 1 or 2 minutes of loading the game up. Went through various stages of troubleshooting, and it was finally detremined that I had a bum card.
Today, I got my RMA'ed card from UPS, and when I installed it, temps were holding very steady at idle between 29'c & 33'c with a fan speed of 40% (auto profile) and nothing has had it over 78'c on a full load with a fan speed of 58% (auto profile).
I did not load the free BIOS update this time that EVGA is offering. But I did notice that the Core Clock and Shader Clock were that of the upgraded BIOS. Still can't adjust my fan speed down to 30%, but it's working flawlessly now and i'm not going to mess with it.
Here is the link for the free BIOS update if anyone has the card, and is interested.
