Hi everybody :)

I appreciate your guys help and suggestion about my cpu temp. It worked out very well.However, I have another problem with high temp.This time it's my video card. It's Asus Extreme Nvidia PCX 5900 with 128 Mg (PCI-EXPRESS). I just downloaded a software called Asus Smart-Doctor. It tells the temp of the video card GPU and the memory. my GPU temp is about 50'C and the memory temp is about 45'C at idle time.When I play games the gpu temp goes to 55-56'C and memory temp goes to 50'C.The video card has a small fan working at 4000rpm.Also,I have a case fan working at 3000rpm (intake) directly on video card heatsink. My case temp is about 26'C. What is a good temp for video card GPU? How can I reduce mine?

Sincerely,
David

I think those temps are about normal for the core. I'm not sure about the memory though.
The newer 6800's are reporting gpu temps of 70C load as a norm.
Your case temp is very good so i think you'll be fine as long as it doesn't go higher than 30C-35C.

yes as Jay has stated, those temps are normal. SO no fear my friend just provide nice cool air to your entire system and you will be golden.

GPUs tend to run quite hot and there were a lot of complaints about the FX range running very warm compared to their ATI counterparts. Your temps look fairly normal so you shouldnt have any problems.
