My complete Specs are: ASUS A8N-E - AMD Athlo64 3200+ @2,400 (200x10) - 2x512 Shit memory (2.5 4-4-7, set to 166 and then clocked to 200)- C3D X800GTO 256 16p @570/570 (Core/Mem) and I have replaced the cooler with a Zalman VF700-CU. Temp @ Core gets to 65 degrees but never higher. Temp in case...

According to people here you should. Having 70+ degrees seems to be to much. I got my temp down 10 degrees and also I managed to raise the core 50Mhz so I would say it's well worth it. If you can spend 10% extra on your card to keep your card alive for a bit longer I would say it's even more...

Took you guys' advice and got me a Zalman v700-cu. Now I got to oc to 570/570 and temperature never exceeds 65 degrees. 38 idle. I guess my case sucks since it gets 43 degrees in there on load. New 3dmark05 score also. Not as impresseive as I would like considering I raised the core 50 Mhz...

How hot is ok then? ATi tool doesn't even power up the fan to 100% until you hit 90 and I assume W1zzard knows what he's doing? 74C seems a bit hot compared to i.e a CPU which normally shuts down at those temps. So how hot can we have this thing be and still be fine?

C3D with modded BIOS. Never bothered changing back. Couldn't see the point. Running: ASUS A8N-E - AMD Athlo64 3200+ @2,400 - 2x512 Kingston 3200 2.5CAS - C3D X800GTO 256 @520/565 - Seagate Barracuda 120Gb 8Mb As you can see, my gfx card is at 520 Core and 565 memory and I use stock cooling...
