Hello,
Would like to know what are the normal operating temperatures (idle/load) for the ATI 9800pro? or where to find this info?
Also what is the upper temp limit for the card (9800pro)?

Thanks for the info.
Cheers

Upper limit would be around 90C, since they melt around the same temp as AthlonXP about 120-130C.

Good to know
Currently my card seems to be running around 50-55C at idle (temp. maybe alittle more as that is a reading from a temp sensor placed next to the core)

What I ment was ... does replacing the thermal pad with some artic sliver help the temps at all? Iw ould imagine it would but how much (if you have done this)?

Thanks
