Jeez..yes that temp is in IDLE of course, if it were under load then I'd have ordered a room heater instead of AC, yes when ambient is 33°C the card runs at 42-43°C, and under full load it's around 78-80°C.
It's made of ASUS, the non Top model.
Its ok, 6950 has a not so optimized cooler, even in european countries it idles at 44c(low ambient).My 6950 idles at 50+
Are u going to Get GTX 560 ?My 6950 idles at 50+
Do you have the ASUS DirectCU Cooler? That cooler puts the entire amount of hot air in the cabby itself, check your fan configuration, somehow your card is getting chocked. Take the side panel and test, does it improve?Jeez..yes that temp is in IDLE of course, if it were under load then I'd have ordered a room heater instead of AC

Most probably, my engg exams are coming up on may, after those are over I'll upgrade my system probably, looking at 2600k+z68+8GB corsair, and a GPU worth 15k(GTX560 for now), meanwhile I'll keep my eye out for Bulldozer.I know abt ur Palit GTX 460 i remember
Its a reference cooler so 50 Idles is ok

I'm in a dilemma though, I'm either gonna get a job or go for higher studies next year(june, 2012), in that case I won't be able to use my desktop any more, maybe a Gaming laptop would make more sense then, so upgrading now might be a total waste(E8400+5850 can hold for one year easily), damn choices
confusion
The GTX560 @ 950 outpaces a 570/6970 easily, in a benchmark site I saw 1GHz Gigabyte SOC GTX560 running second only to 580, so thats performance.Wat a
Always Worth the wait , HD 5850 is enough for now ! ya me to waiting for bulldozer & GTX 560ti is really beast man u dont need GTX 570 just Overclock to 925 Mhz its performing like 45% increased performance than regular & if u sli it then it can take each & every game to max !
, and the Graphic Card is working fine, both fans are rotating fine and yes I have good enough air flow in my cabby
You and damngoodman have same gpu right? So why the difference? His idle and load are both 13c cooler than yours, maybe his ambient is lower(but still, 13 c is hell of a drop, for eg: My 5850 idles at 44c, when I turn on ac and put it to 18c, it drops to 36-38c and thats the lowest it will get, during winter it stays at 36c with the ambient hitting 15c, so the drop is about 7-8c max for my card), 13c cannot be justified easily, but yeah, as I said, don't lose your sleep over it, as long as load stays below 85c its fine.@tkin- My GPU temperature is normal, that Anandtech chart was in ambient temp like 22-23°C max. So I can't compare it with mine, no one can. BTW- It's the non TOP Asus model, they only have two, Top and Non Top
As you asked, here are the screens,
Oops, didn't knew that, so ithehappys gpu temp is ok.
