i would like to know if hw monitor is accurate for monitoring temps on my 8800gt... after playing cod4, it shows a max temp at 176C and idles around 64.... I know 176 is def too high.. is it possible that it is a mistake?

actually i didn't.. however i just jumped into cod4 and temps were around 94 at it's peak.. avg was 92 according to riva... this card can't break now, I need it to hold me till the 5xxx series comes out ( and my truck need a central port at 40k miles for $1030)

yeah I just dusted it out about 2 wks ago actually gonna be modding this beast in a wk or so. cutting a blow hole for 240 mm fan and cutting out for a window and the window will have 2 120mm holes. and maybe one more on the bottom of the case, and going to paint it gloss black with a nice lacquer inside and out this case weighs about 80lbs fully loaded. an older antec dragon case
