CPU Temp fluctuate 9C with GeForce DDR replaced

[twong82]

I used Via Hardware Monitor and Motherbord Monitor to determine the change in temp of my Amd Thunderbird 800@1Ghz and it says it is 26C with my GeForce replaced with a Trident 9440 PCI (Long story). Before, the temp used to be around 35C with the GeForce DDR. Can my temp drop by ~9C? I am only measuring the change in temp of the processor not the actual temp!!! The only thing I did was replace my video card, nothing else. How much heat does a GeForce DDR dissipate anyways?

The original Geforce gets REAL HOT! It's also very power hungry....The Geforce2 is a lot better, doesn't get nearly as hot and consumes a lot less power. I think that lower temperatures in result of replacing the Geforce is quite normal.
