I have an X800XTPE using an aftermarket ATI Silencer cooler. It runs great, except for a few hours each day when the sun really hits my window and my room heats up quite a bit. According to temps reported by ATi Tool, my card usually has an idle temp of about 35-40C. At full load it is usually 50-55C. It starts having problems at about 63C or so and games will usually crash at around 66-68C. I try to keep it below 60. During those few hours where the air in my room heats up a bit the temps can easily get above 60 and I usually have to clock the card down to 500/500 or even lower (stock is 520/560).
With ATITool it lets you adjust the clocks and it can monitor the temps, but it seems like it wouldnt be that much of a stretch to have software that could automatically reduce the clocks once the card got to a certain temperature. Like with my card, if I could just leave it stock but have it automatically bring down the clocks to, say, maintain a max temperature of 60C then I could just leave it and not have to fuss with it anymore. Does anything like that exist?
