    Just curious what some temps other people get while gaming.
    I am using 169.04 drivers with ATITool at 400core/600mem, and the temps can get up to 91 degrees while in a 68-70 degree room.

    How high do you guys get?

    Are you sure you're using the right units? The temperature of your computer is usually measured in Celsius, and it seems like you're using Fahrenheit for the room temperature.

    And I wouldn't recommend using an ATI utility on a Nvidia Card, But if that's Fahrenheit its fine mines topped 120 f or 60 c.

    ATItool supports Nvidia chips, so it shouldn't be an issue. I would prefer using ATItool anyway, given its stability testing and temperature monitoring abilities.

    I believe the Nvidia chips are rated for something like 100 or 110 degrees Celsius or something insane like that. While gaming I think mines been up around 75-80 degrees C. Fairly sure those are normal numbers under very high load. The Core 2 Duo's themselves are rated to 100C. Obviously the cooler you can keep it the better but those temps are within the operating specs for those chips.
