Last night I had to put a fresh lick of thermal grease on my GPU heatsink, my temps at full load were hitting somewhere in the 80°C range. Afterwards they dropped to 66°C at full load. I just wanted to see what temps everyone else allows their card to run at. Name your card and cooler as well because I remember my 66OO GT would not tolerate any temp above 70°C. If you have an overclock give it in % above the original stock clock speed. Hopefully my grease has a good burn in period and temps should drop a few maybe to 62°C after another 150 hours or so.
My temps currently on my Sapphire X1900XTX with a Zalman cooler (can't remember the model)
66°C @ Full load
40°C @ Idle
