x1800xt Normal Temp

[JerYnkFan]

I just got my X1800xt and when I used the overdrive feature and the GPU was cranked to 800mhz it started running at 86C. Normal it seems to run in the low 70s. Is this normal?

Sure, overclocking makes your card HOT. When I run stock X1800XT speeds at 625/1.5ghz, well... it runs at 81-84C load.

86C for overclocking seems quite alright to me. I've seen this cards go up to 90C and still be working hard
