Hi, I was wondering about my temps on my 7950 TF3 because they seem a little high. I get around 72C load on BF3 and 40C idle. I play BF3 on ultra at 1080p and I also use Virtu MVP. Thanks :)

This on Stock clocks? My idle temps are 30c and max temps playing bf3 64c benchmark takes it up to 68-70 thats with an OC of 1005/1500
 
Here a quick example of whats happening, you will need to sort out away on bring more air to the GPU. The front intake is getting blocked by the HDD cages, you top is an intake but soon taking back out by back out take.

Yeah, that is my case (except mine is silver with a window but yeah) I have removed the top HDD cage which helps with airflow from the front fan, but I guess the lack of a side fan is the main reason for the high temps. I was just checking that it wasn't a fault with the card.
 
I'd say that's pretty good. Mine goes crazy hot and I suspect bad gpu mount.
I had some weird artifact while playing WoT yesterday and the card was in a region of 70C then. When changed to a manual or fixed fan speed I got it down to a lower tems with no artifacts but it was LOUD :(
