ok since the weather has heated up abit, so has my 7800GT! currently idling at 72c and thats with the side of my PC off and a desktop fan blowing at it :o the highest ive seen it go today has 117c under load, average is about 108c though :( this cant be normal, i even have a zalman fatality cooler on it...anyone know why its hitting such temps?
 
crikey the fan is actually not spinning, ill go see what i can do now asap! i didnt notice earlier because i pretty much just brushed my fingers across the heatsink fins without looking, ill update later :)
 
was exactly what Gashman said, the fan wire had gotten caught in the fan, thus stopping it from spinning :) idleing at 46c currently, much better than 70c+ :D
