Got a LeadTek GF2 Pro 32MB yesterday.. and noticed that its running around 62C on the chips surface and 48C on the edges.. is this normal behaviour?? Its not OCed.. and running at 800x600x32. Thanks.

I don't think too many people have a way of checking the temperature of their graphics card.You say you are reading 62 degrees at the center of the chip???? Does it not have a heatsink and fan installed over the GPU or graphics chip??IF not you should get one quickly!!!!

I aint signing nothing!!!

I have no idea what my leadtek is running at. I've never installed their software to find out......

Are you getting any graphics problems? little white speckles?

It has a fan and a seathink. The manufacturer said it was ok for the chip to run around 48C to 65C.. the critical temp being at 72C.. and everything below is normal. Anyone running cooler (below 60C)..?? how??

Im getting no problems, everything runs ok... I was just surprised (and a tad worried) at the high temps.
