what are high temps for a 9800GTX??

[bushwickbill]

I have been doing a little Overclocking on my new GTX, So far with Fan on Auto Which has it running at 45% my temps are in the 65'sC during Gaming. I have only been doing some trial Overclocking to see how the temps are, At 771/1944/2200 temps seem Low. Not that I am complaining or anything. I haven't seen the Fan go any higher than 45%, So what are the max temps for this card?? It seems to run very Cool and quiet
I haven't touch the Mem clocks yet as I want to see how high the Core and Shader can go first. I am very impressed with initial testing. From stock clocks to this moderate Overclock the temps are the same!!

I'm in SLI so a little warmer, but idle temps are 62-65, gaming temps 68-71. Even with Crysis (which pushes core temp higher than anything tested) core temps only hit about 72. That's with a well ventillated case.

I was curious about temps and tried underclocking, overclocking to where you did, etc, idle and load temps seem to stay the same regardless. All in all a pretty solid design IMO. But to answer your question, the card runs pretty cool. Temps above 80 would be unusual.

i had higher temps also, however if you download a controller such as rivatuner, I was able to set my fan to 65% and my 9800 gtx is overclocked and set to turn the fan up to that % if it reaches over 50C. Mine consistantly stays around that 50 degree mark or less.

65 C is very cool for a graphics card. When you will get over 80-84 C then you should start to worry. So it seems that monster cooler does its job pretty well.
