    I am running an X800 XT PCI-express non overclocked and artic cooling 4 I get temperature readouts of 160F GPU and like 150 enviroment when playing games like Oblivion.. is this to hot? the card still performs flawlessly. I have purchased new thermal cooling and applied that. It seemed to work properly for a few days then it got hot again. What should i do?

    I'm not sure exactly for your ATi card, but for example, my Nvidia 6800GT AGP idles at 56C (133 F) and thats just fine. Under load it gets up to around 147 or so and thats fine too.

    as long as you dont see artifacting on the screen, you shouldnt worry.:p
