I have noticed something strange with my video card. My video card is a 6800GS 256MB. Using the NVIDIA Control Panel my video card is idling at 60C-72C with the fan on automatic at 53%. Now, when I first got the card it used to Reach 70-80C under full load from Oblivion. Whenever I play a game like EVE Online and tab to the Control Panel I get temps over 100C. My card a couple years old, so is this a result of "old age?"
Using Core TEMP 0.96 my core temps are anywhere from 30C to 40C. I think my case has good ventilation. I have 3 fans, one in the front, one in the back, and one on the side. Of course I have a fan over my heatsink and the video card has a fan as well.
