okay, so, both PCWizard 2008 and Speedfan are reporting my video card's idle temp to be 20c. im downloading everest now to triple-check...and something tells me im going to find a different temp.
is it just me, or are the temps wrong?

to be honest, the intel core 2 duos run VERY VERY cold anyway so i wouldnt be surprised if it was right

Yeah, sensor screwup more than like. I dunno the average temp for those cards anyways..

well it does have its own massive heatsink and fan, seen here:

and i do have the side panel off my PC with a large box fan blowing into it all the time. maybe its right, who knows?

You didn't mention that. Must be annoying but it will be responsible for several points drop in temperature, I've watched mine drop when I did the same. Eh, I dunno.
