Haha. Stock temps are only about 1 degree cooler (at least while idle) on my X800.
Idle: 47 degrees
Full load: 73 degrees
Ambient: 22 degrees
Yes, these cards clock very nicely, but don't really need to be, as they are fast for gaming at stock settings.

So are you saying that the load temps are the same whether you overclock or not?

If anyone knows what the maximum operating temp of the new gpu is, please post. Thanks!
Pretty incredible that the gpu can handle that much heat under load with the stock heatsink/fan.

Your temps won't make it to 145C. Before it hits that your core will melt.
As for the speculation about ATi sticking ot a 1 slot design but getting much hotter, ive been saying it all along. I said even boefire they came out that Nvidia os known to go overboard with cooling. Nvidia might have a 2 slot design but im guessing its much cooler than ATI's.
