    I have a XPS 1530 with Invida 8600M GT. Under normal load, my GPU temp runs between 57 and 68. When it reaches 68 the fan comes on and lowers the temp to about 57 before the fan shuts down. Is this normal for the chip?

    Yes, but its not as important as your max temps.

    How do you check the temp?
    For that matter how do you check the temps of everything else too? :confused:

    See the first post of the thread you just posted in (i.e. the software listed under "Utilities").

    Mine's at 60s under normal useage and 90s when gaming. Hence, I'm trying to cut down on gaming until Nvidia releases those "turn fans on earlier" drivers.
