Could get no temps whatsoever to start with. Something to do with asus changing the temp sensor or something. The only app that gives a reading is the latest version of their smartdoctor, which gives me 40-43c at idle. I've seen threads on other forums about this specific card and apparently overclocking using the asus software doesn't do anything. fingers crossed for a bios/driver update or something
Not sure whether to trust the temp reading of 40c or not. The cooler isn't the one slot enclosed thing that all the other 8800gt's have, it's a bigger fan I think and completely open. (haven't checked whether I can physically get another card next to it, but the back plate isn't dual slot)
It was for a new build so haven't really had the time to push it yet and work out what the temps at load are. but so far happy with performance. A slight difference from my vanilla 6800!
