Temperture Issue on my 9800XT
I have a Sapphire 9800XT. When i go to the Overdrive tab it says that the current temp is 70-71C with out the Overdrive enabled. Is this normal temp? And if possible is there a way where i can get it cooler. Below are my system specs.

Ya, thats normal for a 9800. Graphics cards can run in the 100's i hear and still operate. If you want to get it cooler, try mounting a 1u heatsink on it, or watercooling.

werty316 will become famous soon enough

As long as you system doesn't crash its should be fine. I heard that Overdrive really doesn't help too much. Better of using Powerstrip in my opinion.
