I'm curious as to what temperature other people are posting on this card. Mine is showing about 54C idle and around 90C when playing games (stock cooling). I have it set to oc at XTX levels but temps seem to be approximately the same as non-oc'ed. Kinda wondering if i should plonk down another 50 bucks for better cooling...

I have a X1800XT and mine hits mid 80's on full load. I think its normal for these cards to run hot.

Same idle temp as you, mid 50's. Load it around 80c, close to mid 80's. Thats with two XT's, but Overdive only reads one cards temp. Im pretty sure its reading the bottom (main) cards temp. The card above is probably a little warmer.

Those of you running near 80C at full load, whats the ambient temp in your computer room? Whats the airflow like in your case? Need some details here. :p

With Accelero X2 my XT idles around 41-44C gets into the 70's on full load I think though. With stock cooling it was similar to the rest's temps.

hmmm... i guess i'm slightly running on the higher end of the temp (btw, running the bloated CCC - haven't tried the ATI tools or tray yet).

my case is the thermaltake tsunami .. 2x 120mm fans front/back 1x 90mm fan on side. all cables are SATA so there isn't much blockage in terms of airflow.. temp on MB is 37C according to PC Probe.. Wonder if getting an accelero would be a smart thing to do with the current temp readings.

My 1900XTX runs in the 80's on full load. I definately have poor ventilation in my case though. A soon as i have a new motherboard im moving from my SSF back into a full ATX case.

With the stock cooler mine got about 50 idle and would normally hover around 70 while gaming. I had seen it get up to 90 once or twice though.

I get 75 on load @ XTX stock speeds.

Fan @ 100%. But its the artic cooling accelero x2.
Doesn't do as good a job as I wanted, except it's 100% silent @ 100% speed!

A hot running cpu and video card in a poorly ventilated case = HIGH HIGH TEMPS

You need to get better ventilation. Replace current fans w/ better ones. Possibly add a slot cooler. Keep your case open.

Maybe your cooler is not making good contact with the gpu core. If you're feeling up to it, you can either take off the stock cooler, and reseat it with a thin layer of AS5, or you can buy an aftermarket cooler. If not, then just RMA the card, because 105C is way too hot for the video card.
