Hello,
I got a ATI brand X800xt graphic card. It seems to be very hot when i play extreme games Call of duty 2, World of warcraft, etc. The temp gets up to 90+ degrees when i max out the resoultion and setting. WIll it burn my graphic card? When i'm idling at windows the temp is around 50 to 60C but during gamming it heats up to 90+. Is this normal for ATI x800xt or i should lower the resoultion or get a better cooling system for the card?

Not normal. My P3 rig has an x850XTPE in it, and it idles at 42C and never gets above 71C while under heavy load.

Download ATITool, and manually set up your fan's speed. Right now, your video card may not be spinning up the fan unless it gets dangerously hot. Using the manual fan controls, you can specify at which temperature you want your fan to speed up to.

I've got mine set up like so:
Temperatures from 0-59. Fan speed = 68%
Temperatures from 60-64. Fan Speed = 81%
Temperatures of 65+. Fan Speed = 100%.

It works a lot better than the when I had the fan set to automatic.
