Hi. I've recently bought a 6600GT to upgrade an older computer and so far it's reporting very high temps. Specifically, it's the XFX 6600GT with DDR3 memory (this one).

When I run the CS:S stress test, after just a few minutes Rivatuner reports that it hits 97C :(

I've checked that the fan is running. I don't have a brilliant case, but surely this was only mid-range when it came out, or is there a possibility that the temp sensor is faulty?
