9700 pro temperatures too high?

[eRaDicaTor]

I've installed a temperature sensor on the backside of my AIW 9700 pro and the temperatures constantly read about 60 C. My CPU usually reads about 38 c and my case is riddled with fans. Does anyone have a sensor hooked to their 9700? and if so what temps are to high? How do I fix it if mine is too high?

Video Cards usually run alot hotter than a cpu, for example the new geforce fx 5900 runs at about 93 C so I'd say the tempurature on your 9700 is fine.

You can tell if the card is running to hot because you would start to see anomolies on the screen (like odd patches of colour or black lines- strange stuff).
So if your worried run a graphically intensive program like 3dmark in a loop for a while and if the images show no signs of fault then you are prolly fine.
As Manfordjinsen says video cards run hotter so I think your temps are fine, but the is nothing like peace of mind

I hope you are right. I had no Idea it ran so hot. Thanks

My Tyan 9700pro sits right around 55-56°C during normal surfing and what not. It get's warmer during playgame or running 3dmark.
