Greetings

I recently bought an eVGA 7900GT SuperClocked
(GPU 600Mhz / RAM 800Mhz / coper Heatsink)
from ebay.
I think there might be a problem with this card.
At idle the card is about at 56 Celsius
with 35 C amdient temp.But at full load the
cards goes up to 100-102 C.Even with the
air conditioner turn on (room temp about 26 C) the cards goes to 100 C .I have removed
and re-installed (twice) the heatsink with
Arctic Silver on the core and and Arctic Ceramic on the RAM.Same resolts.
The PC case has 2 * 8cm fans on the front
@ 1800rpm and 2 * 8 cm fans on the back @
1600rpm.
I don`t think that the card should reach
so high temps.

Could you please inform me if there is indeed
a problem ?
