3D1 at stock is 55 average at idle, about 75 average load. When its at 531/1.22, 54 average at idle, and 73 at stock. Kinda weird, but o well... I use Rivatuner for temperature reads...

2-Evga 7800KOs. 53c idle and mid to upper 70s under load.

How is everyone measuring the load temperature of their GPU? Do you leave the control panel open in the background, run a game for a while, then switch back to it?

 

[Nirach]

Well, ATiTool runs in the systray with a temperature reading, so an alt-tab to another window shows it.

No idea about nVidia cards though

eVGA 6800gs with stock cooler. 43C idle. No load numbers, sorry. Not bad for a Sonata case without the front fan.

6800GT with passive Evercool dual heatpipe cooler, not overclocked, idles at 37ºC. Don't know load temps.

RivaTuner has a hardware monitor that you can run in the background when you're playing games, testing etc. It keeps a chart for you so you can see your temps, clock rate, etc.

EVGA 7800 gtx modded with thermalright v-1 ultra overclocked 500/1300 idle 41 load 47. Yes, the delta between idle and load is very small. Thermalright king of cooling!
