What are you guys' temps? I idle at 42 stock, and around 55 under load (speeds in sig).

I have a very cheap watercooling setup for my X1800XT. Consists of 100L/hour pump, and 1/4" hose, and small block for the GPU.

At stock speeds, I idle at 40c.
When overclocked 756MHz core (1.48v), 900MHz memory (stock volts) I idle around 50c. When playing DOOM3 for a few hours, the temperature goes up to maybe 53c... The only thing that REALLY stresses this video card is 3DMark, and then I have seen it up to about 60c.

I idle at 29C and load at 38C at stock clocks. With 1.525V I idle at 31C and load at 40C. This is with an X1900XT but I figured it was close enough to what you're asking about.

According to the Catalyst Control Center my card is idling at 35C. I'm running a MCW55 block for the GPU, and there is also a X2 4400+ in the loop...

This the lower i have now...( without cool the room with winter air.) after some hour of play, it's more 30°C..

So wierd, Ive put the block on numerous times and all the temps were the same so I dont think its a contact issue. I know that stock cooling would run 60+ easy as well.

on stock HSF both X1800 (XL and XT) get very hot,
right after I got my X1800XL I had 70°C idle and 83° with 3dmark - insane temps! I've put a Aerocool VM 101 with a 92mm fan and temps got 20°C lower and noise is about a half, but I agree that water is a MUST to overclock that gfx, shame the R520 doesnt make much artifacts when its too hot, just works and than dies (not my exp thou)
BTW do you guys use more gpu-core-only blocks or blocks for both core and memory? I need some suggestions for a new block for my card ... thx
