This may be a bit unrelated, but has anyone every tried to fry an egg on any of the 8, 9, or 200 series cards or their ati equivalents?

EDIT:
I just ran 3dmark vantage and after the 2 GPU tests my GTS 250 reached 172 degrees.

According to:
http://www.ncegg.org/EggInformation/TeachYourself/Canasidewalkcookanegg/tabid/133/Default.aspx

eggs need to reach 144-158 to turn to solid.

It is possible to fry an egg on your GPU, but I don't know about the outer case.

that's fake btw.
hottest point on the board will be the top side PCB, and of course the memory/cpu. the side like that will have very little hot air coming out if it's dual slot, and that air won't reach near the temp of the PCB.
 
Why are you letting it get that hot anyway? Turn the fan up. With my fan on 70% my gts250 never really goes over 65c/150F. I know max spec is like 100c or something crazy, but the cooler your GPU stays the cooler your case stays which in turn keeps the CPU cooler too. GPU cards radiate a lot of heat from the top of them, and guess whats right above it...the CPU.
 
Yup so fake.....you can tell hes already heated up that pan very hot before he put it in the pc!

Yeah I'm guessing he heated it in the oven. Watch closely, when he sets the pan down, the camera zooms in on the pan itself....I'm willing to bet it's because he was holding the super hot handle with a towel or something.

I let my fan run at its default adjustments. It goes extra fast when it needs to (I'm guessing 100%) to keep my temps down. It gets really noisy when I play games, but goes back down after.
