Mentali$t, you have got it the wrong way round, if you get a Athlon 64 to 100C, it would probably blow up or something. A friend of mine has the 256MB Geforce 7800GTX, and it idles at 55C, and reaches about 80C under load. My card reaches 75C after about 2 hours playing FEAR. If you have a friend with a NVidia card, have him right click the desktop, properties, settings, click advanced at the bottom of the window, click on the adapter tab, and have him go to the temperature settings. The temperature threshold should be something like 115C. That means its the temp where the card would start picking up damage. I'm not saying its good for a card to run at 85C 24/7, I'm just saying its not the end of the world, or of rgray's stock cooling days just yet if it reaches it under load.
