Is 7600GT over 110 degree normal?

[tonyckq]

My card is from inno3d, 560/1400, I do not overclock it.
For normal operation, it is about 65 degree celcius, however,
when I am playing games, it bumps up to over 110 degree!!
Sometimes glitches can be seen on screen.
For the fan, the original card comes with Zalman fan installed already,
I just wonder whether it is normal or not.

THANK YOU!!

Thats too hot, you need to take action to alleviate some of that heat.

Either your case air flow is seriously restricted, or GPU cooler is inadequate, or failing, or not properly seated, card memory may need additional RAMSINKS, or you may need to add a side case fan.

Seconded.

also check and make sure its clean, no dust.

do you live on the equator?

The card is new, so no dust is hindering it, and the case's air flow is quite good, having two 120 mm fan responsible for in and outflow of air. So what should I do? Should I return the card to the vendor?
Also, what should be the normal range of temperature for 7600GT?

what temperature tool are u using to monitor the temp?

i find it highly unlikely ur system is too hot with those 2x120mm fans. so either the card is fcuked or your temp tool is fcuked.
