Yes it's got higher clocks but higher clocks and staying at similiar volts won't improve heat a lot at all, at least it never has for me only a couple of degrees at most. So yea either it's something weird about software reading or the sample used the heatsink has bad contact or the volts have been increased for the card for some reason altho I wouldn't expect that with a 90 -> 65nm jump despite a bit higher clocks applied. And seeing how it consumes less power than a 8800GTS makes me even more suspicious about that temp. I'm still guessing I'll be seeing around 65C at stock clocks in my caseless setup + the winter's coming and sub 0C temps outside helps usually a bit too.![]()
