[QUOTE="joz, post: 296710, member: 70244"] The problem described here by Inker is just the way it is nowadays with passive cooled cards in mij experience. It's a bit on the high side but I had a x1650XT which ran 60 idle on my PC and about 95 full load after an hour. It's still working (sister is playing some Sims 2 on it from time to time). Especially the low profile HTPC cards have a smaller heatsink. The core will get hotter because of that (less surface to dissipate heat) Offcourse a good airflow helps a lot. But that goes for all PC's in general, also actively cooled cards for game PC's etc. [/QUOTE]
