i think i have some problems with my gtx260 ... i've read the forums and the normal temperature of a gtx260 should be arround 50-60 in idle and about 70 in load ... correct me if i am wrong... but when i play for exemple TombRaider UnderGround or Crysis or any high performance game... it overheats... like 80 - 90 C ... and its cooler is at 100% + that my chase has 4 coolers all at maximum... do u know if thats normal and if its not how do i resolve it...
is it because my gtx260 is Top Edition 13% faster... ?

I had a problem like that once, It turned out that I had removed the heatsink fan trying to clean it, and I forgot to reapply thermal paste, so it overheated. That is probably the issue, lack of thermal paste.
