Just got this x1900 gt today. It seems to run very hot, goes up to 83c under load running on a DS3 with a 6300 @ 3.3Ghz. Idle is about 56c with case temps about 30c and cpu temps of 53c. Is this right for this card. The sink seems to be seated good cuz it's very toasty. My 512MB 6800 Bliss Golden Sample maxed at less than this one idles! Any suggestions? Thanx, Daz
 
Yeah thats probably about right on the stock cooler, my x1800 XT 512mb idles at 59, and underload goes to around 72, and the GT has a few more shader units. :)
 
You could probably use something like RivaTuner or ATi Tool to push the fan speed to 100% if you wanted to (assuming it's not at that speed when running on load anyway).
