Today, I just happened to look at the temps on my card with RivaTuner, and it was telling me that my idle ambient temp of the card is close to 60C. The rest of my system's ambient temp (via Nvidia Control Panel) is under 40C. The card isn't acting up or anything, I'm just wondering if this is normal. I can't remember what it's been in the past, but 60C seems really high for an ambient temp. The idle temp of the core is around 65C, but that doesn't really bother me, I'm pretty sure thats how that's always been.

So, if some of you guys out there with the 8800GTS 512 could just tell me that I'm crazy and have nothing to worry about, I'd appreciate it. ;)

Well try setting your fan speeds to 50-60%. It isnt much louder and mine idles at 39 with those settings. I have that same eVGA card but mine is at 820/1100/xxxx and it is still that low.

Yeah, that was my next step. I just couldn't remember if it was always like that or if something had changed. That's really what I was worried about. I was able to clock mine up to 760/1200 but it didn't change much if anything, so I put it back to eVGA's stock OC. Thanks for the reply. I guess I'll try that.
