xfx8800, running cool?

[detox-rum]

I guess the first thing I should ask, does the Hardware Monitoring in RivaTuner read accurate?

I'm running my XFX 8800GTS at 650/1000 and it idles at 50-51c,
and I've never seen it go over 61c under load
the fan reads 75%dutycycle @ about 1950rpm
reads Ambient temp at 38c idle and about 42-45c load

I'm just wondering, cause I read that other people are getting up around 80

you probably have good airflow.

"under load" meaning what? let atitool spin its furcube for 30 minutes, I bet it will go over 61c

Ok, just did the fury cube,(which looks cool) and it topped out at 60c
and I just ran 3DMark06. it spiked at 61c, with a score of 8471.

I'll have to give props to the case. but this doesn't explain my 85c cpu temps(but that'll go in a different thread)

thanks detox

85c CPU temp :|

That's a bit of a low score for a conroe too... I bet your chip is throttling itself.
