It's your choice, it's your card. I don't think anyone said you were "wrong."

Don't worry about it everyone is entitle their opinion. I sure wouldn't feel comfortable with mine at 90C though, that's like a cpu getting to 60C.

Sounds like you need some zalman action on that card.

I would personally not worry so much. My 6800Gt did not have any errors until 90+c (and that was with a NV silencer 5 on it) and my 7800GT hits 75+ under load with no errors. It has a Zalman VF-700cu on it but I have it at the "silent" mode (3v) so the fan runs pretty slow. Spend the ~$30 for a new cooler if you are really worried but otherwise I would not get all that concerned.

well just got a FS-V7 off of someone on dfi-street for 28 dollars, if I can't reuse the ramsinks I'll get the nice ocz ones on newegg. I wish I had some thermal adhesive cuz I might need it to reuse the zalman ones.
