my Video Card Too Hot?
I have an ATI 9800XT 256MB running a game called Far Cry - very amazing ... the only thing is when I open the ati tool, it shows my video card is running 72 degrees - 
That seems very hot - I understand that is only at full load and gets to about 67 idle but just wondering your thoughts?

that doesnt seem too hot at all, considering many peoples cpu's run at 130-140 degrees, i think 72 on a gfx card would be just fine.
BTW, i envy your card, you lucky little sucker

work gave it to me since they were testing it out for some stuff and I was able to grab it from them - however , it has no cooling fan so I had to buy that rev 3 cooling fan and was told it as the best.
I use the ATI card on my only Windows XP machine - for gaming.
Then my Linux machine runs nVidia 5900XT 128MB - also a nice card.

My HD max temp is 135 degress...so I don't think that is too much for a video card ...

For those of you outside the US, that's 72 degrees Fahrenheit, about room temperature. If it was Celsius then I would be worried.

thats a good point ...I was thinking fahrenheit not celsius
I got into a heat problem after installing my second HD...it was necessary to add a fan to a empty fan slot in CPU and re-route some ribbon connectors (blocking air flow)...I would think that video cards would run hotter than a HD?
