No thats VERY high for his card. I own two like the one he has. For a reference card thats ok. Not for an EAH4850. At the most you should be at 65c idle.

Three suggestions: 1. Take off the cooler and redo the TIM on the GPU. 2. Increase the fan speed to 70% while gaming. 3. Liquid cooling. It will never get above 50C. :cool:

The Asus EAH4850 looks like a reference card to me:

He doesn't specify he got the HTDI version (which does got the glaciator cooling), but rather the normal, reference EAH4850

Well if he has this version its far to hot.

I'd still re-TIM it anyway, just to be safe. You might find some flaw with the way the cooler was attached. Make sure you also have adequate air-flow in your case.

Have you tried using GPUTool to adjust fan settings?

It's far from complete, but might work well for you.

I agree, take the cooler off, clean the thermal crap off asus use and put some AS Ceramique on. Also worth checking the cooler base surface where the core makes contact, if its pitted that will be another cause for high GPU temps: bad surface area.
