    They both could be valid temperatures? It could be reporting two different sensors now. (Especially as the 8600 GTs had lots of thermal issues).

    Do both temperatures vary?

    wasn't reporting different temps before.e..only after i downloaded new graphics driver. anyway i downloaded gpuz and basically that tells me that the bottom temp is the correct one. i have no idea what the top one is for.
