, the cards are more than designed to handle above and beyond this temperature.-

if thats the case guess its perfectly safe to limit my 2900 to 25% fan speed and have temps in some games at 94 degrees...
There is a massive difference between 70c and 94c
. But saying that the 2900s will run up to 110 before they shut down afaik.My GTX Idles at 68-70 and loads up around 80-82. Id be perfectly happy it going up to 85c. You'll find with the GTX/GTS load temperatures normally only go up by 10c if that.
at idle my 8800gts 640 is at 51c, after load goes to about 60c, when, i clock it to 630/1000 it hits the low 70's i think the fact that i have a 92mm side case fan helps, cause the air coming in from it goes directly onto the graphics card. and a bonus the 88000gts is very quiet

That is rather low. Are you absolutely certain that you've got vsync off? Do you have any override settings in the nvidia control panel?
At 1024x768, high settings, and 4xAA my GTS320 gets 117.8 at timedemo1. Even at ultra, I get 108.1. That's using the 163.67 drivers.

well most people have there gts's idling in the 50's, so I think they should not be idling in the 70's when thats load temp.
I would not be happy if I had a GTX that idled at 70, some peoples idle in the 50's, even 40's.
They will only idle that low if on water or a very good after market cooler and mega case cooling, all gtx's im aware of idle around 70C, mine certainly did before it went into the loop and its currently at 42C
On stock air?, my ass they do. you need to get your facts right or at least back them up
. All GTX on stock air will idle at around 70 in normal circumstances. If you had the side of the case and some big ass fan pointing at it then you may see an idle temp of around 60c but the fact of the matter is the GTX's Idle high, always have done. Its not really the idle temperature you need to worry about anyway its the load. As said mine goes up to around 80c which is perfectly acceptable. You worry way to much Will.

You want more than a small house fan if its idling at 470, you want to get the **** in a ******* wind tunnel.
My GTS idles around 54-56.

Lol
Well its idling around 60 C ish atm - but I have no case fans which I guess is a major problem - well I have 1 small one but its crappy and noisy.
Im guessing I couldnt overclock it to 550/575 with out a good case, right? Im looking at the Antec 900 atm.. looks very nice
People worry about temps far too much.
In 10 years of using 3d accelerator cards I've never had one fail and I've always had really messy cases with rubbish airflow, loads of disks, cables blocking things up etc.
Obviously if wanting to overclock then having lower temps can help but 70C is nothing to worry about normally. High end passively cooled cards used to go way over that.

In a very hot room tonight cos the heaters are onmy 2900pro is idling around 60 and running at XT speeds on load sits at a nice 83degrees!
cant you get the pro to 850/975?
havent tried pushing it any further yet, just set it straight up to the XT clocks and no further so far

8800gtx @ 39C (E6300 @ 22C) in a 19C room.
