Yeah, they do..

but mines a G80 core 8800, so its hot 24/7..
atm its idleing in at 68ºC idle, and ~90ºC Loaded.

the G92 cores ( like the GT or the new GTS's ) Are much quieter and etc.

My card is running at about 43C idle with the fan at 40%. I bump the fan speed up to 50% when gaming because the game sounds cover up the increased noise.

holy shit!
mine is at 41°C right now and i've never seen it get over 50 (fully loaded)
if i'd known they could get that warm i might start over-clocking it a bit.

yeah, that's another thing that i don't understand, you get the crowd like you that says they have low temps, then they have the rest of us that the temps are high as shit..

i have a Antec P180B With a few 120mm fans keeping the airflow up, and the LOWEST I've been able to do is 65º C on the damned card, and I've taken the HSF off, Cleaned, prepped, and put on AC5 to get better temps.. :/

damn it all to hell,

i was talking to BFG a few days ago, and they are saying that is "Normal operating temps" and they continued to say that the load was a wee high.

OCed XFX 8800GT with a TT DuOrb

Idle - 45C
Load - Always below 60C

I told you before, Branden. Buy an aftermarket cooler ffs.

update, i got Rivatuner to upp the Fan level to 88%, and that makes the fan just barely noticeable in the computer, now the temps are at 60º idle, and 74º full load...

i guess mine has the flaw that the Fan sticks at around 40-50% all the time. :/
