Gpu Temps

[teatime0315]

I just bought an nVidia Geforce 6800 GS ... and it idles around 40-43 C.... I was wondering... is this too hot for the gpu at idle? or is it normal...
Another question ... what temp. is considered as hot for a GPU?

Any Feedback would be greatly appreciated

My 6600GT idles at 43C and hits load at 63C. It used to hit 92C at load until I reset its heatsink (which are notoriouly loose on some 6600GTs).

My 6600GT idles at 43C and hits load at 54C. It used to hit 72C at load until I bought a Zalman FV700CU (which is notoriously good on all 6600GTs)

40C idle is fine for a 6800GS. My 6800GT was idling at 59C! What are load temps like?
