Reference AMD 6950XT getting hot

[HairyRichard69]

My hot spot is going above 110 and is reaching 112c on average during intensive gaming sessions.

My Global, GPU and Memory Junction temps are mid 80's.

Shall I ignore this or is this going to shorten the life of the GPU?

I'm using a Corsair 3000D case.

Currently using a hodgepodge of Arctic 140mm and a Phanteks 140mm for the front intake.

Does anyone know the best 140mm case fans that have excellent CFM?

I think this card has always been on the toasty side.

I put it down to having a slightly smaller heatsink compared to the 3rd party cards.
