well i got it and installed the drivers that were on the CD, but i havent installed the latest (unless the ones on the CD were the latest) but i dont want to start gaming because i have no idea how the temps are. ive heard that some people have been up to 70C at idle and im kind of concerned about my card. i have ran 3Dmark 06 and scored a 3051 i dont know if thats good or not lol.

anyway i just wanted to know if there is a program that can help me measure the temps of my card, thanks agai guys

haha, yea i remember you. ive had no problems with mine so far. BF2 seetings all the way up and running smooth, doom 3 all up, prey all up. its insane. i didnt know this card was so powerful. also, im idling at 48C and load is 68C. the only problem im having is that when im exiting a game, the screen goes black, and i have to hit ctrl/alt/del to get some of my screen back. its weird, but small price to pay. did you ever fix the heat problem with yours??

Well, if ya read the whole thread that I made...it was not solved with AS5 even I reseated teh HSF twice. I just slapped a pci-exhaust cooler right under the card. It help the case temp a bit down and so as the card.

I just played prey @ 1600x1200 2 AA

it's amazing. Sooner or later I need to get a aftermarket cooler to solve the problem.
