I've just bought an 8800GT a couple of days ago and I'm a little bit concerned about the temperature it's running at. It's hitting around 62 degrees C at idle and getting to 80-88 degrees C when it's under load. It's got a G92 chip on it and as far as I understand these can get a bit hot. I'm thinking of getting a graphics card cooler and am looking at either Accelero S1 Rev.2 (maybe with a couple of the turbo modules) or Accelero Xtreme 8800. Which one would you recommend or any more suggestions of another one that would do the job?

Or you can tweak the fan profile - mine would idle at 58C and very quickly hit 90+ gaming at which point the fan would kick in at 100% until the temps dropped, then the fan dropped out, temps shot up again, fan kicked in... repeat. I changed it so the fan was at 40% idle and ramped up a little bit quicker and now it idles at 38C and rarely gets over 67C gaming.
