All over.
Hey, on one of my computers I've got a Sapphire ATi Radeon X800 GTO bought from OCuk.

Now, I've discovered artifacts and in this weather the TRIXX software is recording an average temperature of 75C plus with the internal case temp of 32 - 35 degrees. I was just wondering is it worth buying the Arctic Cooling ATI 4 Rev.2 for X800 cards. Will there be a difference in cooling?
 
Thing is I don't get why it gets so hot. Theres a 12cm fan blowing in cool air from the side, a Vanted spectrum card with 2 fans on high directly beneath it. The actual HSF must be a problem I think.
 
I don't think it's a stock heatsink.

Even so, it doesn't look that good of a heatsink.
