hello guys, i recently bought an evga 7200le pci-e, and have had it for about 1 month. i downloaded speedfan and noticed that my gpu core temp was 98 degrees celcius, i thoguht it was a mistake and downloaded sensors veiw and it said 92 degrees celicus, is my gpu frying up? everything else is at good temps. this temprature was recorded at 15 min after start up. i also felt the gpu heatsink and it seemed warm like any otehr video card, help plz.

specs:
abit ip35-e
intel core 2 quad q6600 (stock heatsink)
corsaird xms 2 gig
seagate 500gig
evga nvidia geforce 7200le
antec 500 watt ps
antec sonata case (one tricool fan located in the back)
 
Even if they are load temperatures, they are unusually high, I had a heatpipe silent cooling graphics card once and the load temperature should not be anywhere near 92 degrees, the sensor might be stuffed or there is insufficient contact between the heatsink and the GPU. I suggest you get on to this as soon as possible because these high temperature will shorten the life your hardware.
 
well i jsut kept on going and played maple on it, and the temp was 100 degrees celcius, any help? i also moved the heatsink around.
 
It sounds to me like it's either over-volted (you didn't mention if you've tweaked it or not) or the heatsink isn't seated properly.
Try resetting your bios to 'Optimised defaults' or similar.

I believe you have the same card my son has in his and his temps were high as well. I ended up getting another case fan and a PCI cooler fan and put it right under the video card and the temps are 40 degrees celcius cooler now. What a difference it made.
 
maybe your vid card will die anyway and you can get one that isn't bottlenecking the rest of your setup.
