Nvidia TI4800 SE - what should temperature be?

I just got a new Nvidia TI4800 SE. I put on a new copper heatsink and placed the temperature sensor from my front panel between the heatsink and video chip and the temperature sometimes gets up to 62 Celsius which is about 147 Fahrenheit. This seems too high. I?m not overclocking yet. What should a fair temperature reading be?
 
It could have an effect if it's spilling all over the chipset and what not...

It may not e seated right, reseat and try again...

Why did you take the retail one off anyhow? They are normally pretty good for OC anyway.
 
I shouldn't have put the temp probe between the heatsink and chip because it caused a gap. I moved it to the other side of the board and taped it to the back of the chip/card. Now I'm getting more plausable readings like 55. The Heatsink that came with the card looked cool but it was made out of steel, not copper or aluminum. Mine is copper, and bigger.
 
Ever wonder why nvidia/ati haven't done an on-die thermal monitor yet? -Is- there any reason? Seems like that'd make people's lives a lot easier...
 
Yeah that would be a good idea. Other than the lack of an on-die temperature monitor, I like the software that came with my card. There is an over clocking option that lets you over clock the ram and core with one click of a button, but it is to a pre-determined small amount, like up 25mhz. Does anyone know where I can get a good over clocking software utility for Nvidia TI cards?
 
I think the best place to go for that would be major geeks for that kind of stuff. They seem to have lots of sw. I cant think of any off the top of my head though
 
Yes there is a major geeks..
Coolbits, rivatuner, or powerstrip are commonly used for overclocking nvidia cards.
