Ah, ok. Well, I'm using a 9600 at work (it has real trouble with rendering some of our CAD drawings) so I figured anything newer would have better firmware or whatever it's called.
At home my nvidia geforce 6800gt card has a temperature threshold alarm, you can set that limit manually or just leave the card to its default settings- 120*c
it's the manufacturers standard setting but the card itself rarely gets above 65*c under load. Ambient temperature perhaps has more effect upon such devices than straightforward loading/running of the card.
Yer, those chaps at arctic cooling know their stuff. BUT if you fit one yourself you may invalidate the cards manufacturers wrranty by doing so.
