Did a moderate overclock to around 650mhz on the core 1100 mem and 1300 shaders and this thing was hitting 95C at load in crysis fan on full which seems toasty.

I've got decent cooling in my silverstone TJ10 so whats up with it? Are they just hot?

gpus do get that hot, i'm a bit surprised it reached that temp on full fan though, have you got a tidy case? if your cable management is poor then good cooling won't be that effective

hmm I've just noticed that my coolermaster psu is installed upside down so the fan blows on to the graphics card lol

just found this:The GT200 chip has a thermal threshold at 105 degrees Celsius, and once the GPU reaches this temperature the clock speeds will automatically start to decrease.

im sure the 8800 GTX has a MAX temp of 127 130c? seems the new nvdia cards cant run as hot

the psu fan should be sucking air in from the case and out the back, ive never seen one that sucks air in the back and exhausts into the case...that would be dumb.

the PSU is mounted upside down at the bottom of the case so the fan blow up lol

I thought that was an intake fan in any case surely that blows over the heatsinks inside the pSU?
