Default Video Card Temps.

My 9800 GTX is running at about 142 F, just wondering what everyone else is at compared to that.

Well if your worried, that's a fairly normal temp for a GPU.

Is that load or idle? Idle should be around 55c and load 75c if you run it really hard and have a relatively warm room.

142f = 61c

Just make sure you don't let it get to 80c for long periods of time. I let my 8800GT do that and now the mount seems a little off with the graphic cracked. Besides that it will reduce its lifetime.
