    Who has Arkham Asylum? This game is weird. For pretty much any other modern game, my GPU maxes around 65C, usually a little lower. With Arkham Asylum (Demo), it went to 70C, and that's with a cooler than usual ambient temperature. I was running my standard OC.

    Yeah the game causes my PC to crash. I also get weird stuttering with the audio as well. Is there a fix for this?

    Hey, I'm surprised there was a response. Well, I didn't encounter any stuttering myself, or any crashes. It actually ran incredibly smoothly for me. Do you know your temps when it crashed? And the stuttering may be unrelated. To stop it, go into your power options and make sure the hdd doesn't turn off when idling. Turning back on can cause that stutter. That may not be the problem, it's just a guess.

    I turned physx off. I didn't even know the 9m series supported it. In any case, I wouldn't be able to manage a good framerate with it.

    I recall seeing 74 as my max when running it. I have standard cooling, no OC but I am undervolting slightly. It did crash once but I upped the voltage a little and no more crashes but it does run hot. I guess my next project will be to ICD the chips.

    I think my crashes are more to do with the TZS0 issue. My temps were not that high, maybe 90 fahrenheit.

    I usually never see my gpu go past 65, played batman for about 2 hours and the max temp i got was only 67. That's on my 6860fx with no cooling pad, just back lifted, no OC.

    I am OCing quite a bit. So I guess it just runs a little hotter.

    Also, Kid Dinomite, Are you sure it's 90F? And are you sure it's the GPU? My GPU doesn't even idle at 90F. It's at 95F right now, and that's with a lot of cooling and being in a cold room.

    Sorry about that, ok my GPU is around 64C - 147F. My CPU temps were about 86-89F for each core. I'm running it on a 7811.
