Clocking 8800GT Down Doesn't Change Temps?

You probably won't notice much difference due to it still sucking the same volts. Unless you change these, I don't see it getting much lower. Unless its different with graphics cards vs cpu's and ram.
 
If you really (seriously) want to bring down your GPU temps - get an aftermarket cooler. Is the fan 100%? You can also try putting some quality goop on the vid card heatsink, but again this probably won't get you much. These are your options.
 
So your 8800gt doesn't have dynamic power saving? If that's the case - you're stuck.
 
I found that changing from stock clocks to the minimum clocks only used 2 to 3 less Watts at the wall socket.
So there wont be much difference in temps at idle.
