Thinking of purchasing the 256Mb 6800Ultra (agp). Any UK users have any
comments about them?

FWIW, MBM reports the MB at 41C, CPU at 45C, while the nVidia tool reports
ambient at 53C and GPU at 77C.

Idle system, two 80mm fans in front, two 80mm fans in back, one 80mm fan at
the top, plus the Antec PSP fans. And no, the air coming out the back is
not scorching hot.

As this is a BFG 6800GT-OC, I expect higher temperatures, but also, I don't
trust the card readings much. If the CPU is 45C, it's rather obvious that
the ambient temperature in the case is not 53C. :-)

I've got an eVGA 6800 Ultra PCI-e. There are lots of write-ups on the
Internet about the cooler being better on the Ultra than on the GT
models. My core GPU temp is 53C at idle and goes to 65C with having
gaming. For those having issues with thier cards running hot, you may
need to looking into flashing the BIOS on your nVidia card. The thermal
tables are stored in the BIOS and are updated through BIOS flashes.
