Heat trouble

[drk2]

My 9800gtx is running to hot. No it is not oced. At idle it runs 64c and under load it runs 99c to 102c. I've got an Antec 900 so there is plenty of air flow and the gpu fan works so whats the problem or am I just being paranoid. I thought about reseeding the heatsink but thought I'd run it by you guys first.

I think you need to increase the GPU fan speed.

Sorry forgot to mention that it was already set at 100%. I set it up so the GPU fan goes 100% when I play graphics intensive games.

You`re not being paranoid.
Those temperatures are too high.
Only reseat the HSF is the card is out of warranty.
Check the fan is working properly by downloading Rivatuner and checking the fan RPM.
If the fan is running at full speed and everyhing is clean and clear of dust and animal fur (I have 3 cats, you`d be AMAZED how much fur they shed and ends up in my HSFs`) then RMA the card, or at least talk to that most dreaded of groups Technical Support.
