Its normal, my x1800 XT is about 56 idle, and goes to about 71-72 underload, the x1900 XT is known to hit 80's underload which is perfectly normal, they are very powerfull GPU's, they will run that hot, they are fine.

This is nonsense. I also upped the fan speed on my overclocked gts to 85% and it knocked around 20 degrees off my load temp. Now I get around 54 degrees idle and 72 load.

7-9'c Delta between idle and load. Something is not right there unless your watercooled.

Maybe theres a problem with your fan/bios, sounds like your cooling is not working properly. At 92C the fan should be at 100% when set to auto. If the fan is not speeding up you should probably contact techical support for whoever made your card.
I would advice the same to anyone whos cooling is not speeding up when needed, could be a defect or dodgy bios.

Yep Im on air still, just two 120mm Scythe 1600rpm inlet and exhaust fans.
Along some good airflow its all i got.

Well I am getting some poor benchmarking results, which im trying to sort out
Maybe this is a good place to look.
My system at the moment is at
CPU 28c
System 33c
NB 32c
GPU 50c (just using the internet etc.)

Its not a dodgy bios. If i do a clean driver install and don't use riva tuner then the fan spins up and down as per usual, but as soon as i use RT to set my clocks at boot up then that seems to disablethe fan control. If you're fan is spinning up to 100% you can't have decent airflow in the case. Like i said, playing fear at 85% fan speed means the temps rarely rose over 70c even after about 4 hours of play on max settings. I'm happy running like this TBH, and i rarely game for longer than 4 hours stints due to being at work most of the time! lol!
Oh, and we are talking about a GTS here, not a GTX

My airflow is fine thanks, but ask yourself this, how can you have 72C load at 85% and 92C load with the fan at 100%? Yes at 89C+ the fan will jump to 100%. So either theres a fault somewhere or...
They use pretty much the same cooling so being based on the same architecture I doubt there would be much difference between how they behave. I also doubt the GTSs cooling is so bad that it doesn’t at least speedup to 80% when at 90C so I’m still thinking there’s a problem.. Stick it on auto and monitor it with rivatuner and find out at what temperature the fan speeds up and what speed the fan increases to.

Well, considering the GTX has 1/3 more stream processors than the GTS i can easily see it running hotter. My temps seem to be nicely in line with the majority of GTS users out there so i'm not at all worried.
I'm currently running NVTemplogger to monitor my temps and it seems to be fine. As i said RivaTuner doesn't want to cooperate with the fan control. I even tried setting all 3 fan controls to 100%, 2d and 3d ones, told it to apply at reboot, rebooted, and low and behold the fan didn't spin up to 100%. And besides, whats wrong with running the fan 85% all the time? when i was running with manual the noise generated by the fan when it sped up was quieter than when i set it to 85%, which says to me it doesn't even need to spin up that fast at the moment.
