    Hi Everyone. It seems that after I play f1 210 for 20 mins my temp goes to 80C. It's on max setting and 1920x1080. Also, when I don't play and just surfing the internet, I'm getting 60C. Is this fine or I'm getting overheat? Btw, I'm running driver 10.8 and BIOS 209. Thanks

    Sounds normal, but someone with more experience may have a different opinion. I used to be 85 C in crysis, now I am 79 C after repasting.

    I wish my Video card would stay in the 80s... im usually floating up to around 90C+ after some heavy gaming. One of these days, I'm gonna re-paste...

    Can you advice me on a software that monitors my temperatures, as I never checked them?

    Idling comfortably at 45-46C.... Dragon Age is bringing 64.5C on core & shader, 67.0C on MemIO with OC settings. :)

    AMD GPU Tool for 5870 works very well, plus GPU-Z for a quickie look at temps. GPU Observer is a good gadget that will show a temp. HWINFO also does a nice job and shows all 3 temps.

    Thanks.
    I downloaded HWINFO and it shows the following temps on idle for the GPU:
    GPU thermal diode: 67,0
    GPU ts0: 57,5
    GPU ts1: 67,5
    GPU ts2: 60,0
    GPU fan speed: 30%
    Are the temps reasonable?
    I also downloaded furmark, but I was reluctant to use it not knowing which settings (resolution, AA) to use.

    Run Furmark's Stability test, and you can turn on options if you like. It will run the GPU at full load anyway.

    That TSS1 temp is creeping up a bit high, kinda like mine was in the beginning. You'll probably be looking at a repaste in your near future.

    I played for an hour Far Cry 2 and hwinfo says that gpu thermal diode and ts1 were at 97 degrees max. Is that too much?
    just got 102 while playing modern warfare 2... :/

    I used to idle around 53-55 but after a few months of heavy gaming and weather warming up I'm now idling at around 69-71 very annoying because I know a repaste is necessary but I'm too scared to do it myself.

    Grrrrr

    You may want to pop off the back panel (the one behind the screen hinge) and do some heavy cleaning. I did this not long ago and it dropped my temps alot. Also, pop off the bottom panel, and make sure the 2 screws you can see are tight on the heatsink for the GPU. One of mine was really loose...
