Hi, I was getting 53C idle and 70C load with 400/1100 on my evga 6800GT, yesterday I reseated the cooler and did the credit card method to spread the AS5(was using ceramique before) and now Im gettin 50C idle and 66C load, I guess it should go lower once the AS5 burns in.

Anyways I got as far as 420/1150 right now same temps 50C/66C, ran 3dmark2005, 2003, rthdribl, lots of games and no artifacts. Havent tried anything higher because I think this is already asking alot, am I running any danger here ? Games run so much sweeter now, I would love to have this for 24/7 use but I dont wanna risk it.

Also if you guys dont mind posting your results, :p.

nice temps...i think i should redo my as5. i'm at 427/1150 at 59c/72c. Do you have any fans blowing/sucking toward the gpu? it'll knock a few degrees off if you do...
 
I am up to 440/1160 with my zalman at 50 idle and 64 load.

I havent had the urge to go higher.
 
Wow hehe I was pretty afraid of my clocks but you guys got higher :D

I currently have just an 80mm blowing from the front, and I guess its moving the air that the zalman sucks but dont think it does much, no fans blowing directly into it.

So my clocks should be good for 24/7 right ?
