hey guys just like the tiltle says.

So its 3 am and im playing warhammer 40k (great fuckin game BTW) and i usually dont do this but forsome reason i did, i checked the temps on my vid card, its told me that it was running at 80 degrees celsius. seems kinda hot to me, what do you guys think?

I tried this with a few other games, some were a little lower, but all in all, the same temp. overdrive is not on, and the card is not overclocked. Also i have not been getting any artifacts on the screen. I

have a couple of case 80mm case fans in there, and the case and card are pristine. I clean the thing about once a week, the case is acrylic so it looks bad quickly.

So i guess my question (s) are:
A) is this normal?
b)if not, what can i do about it?
C)has anyone else played this game, cause im really loving this, i havent been this addicted since Total Annihilation.

Thanks guys.
 
The stock heatsink is not that great. Replace the heatsink with a zalman VF700 all copper version for way lower temps, I should have my zalman on my x800xt pe by the end of this week :D
 
Yea 80c is hot you can do what the previous poster said or get an equal type of unit but probably not as efficient for less money.
