I've been a few weeks, a Geforce 8600GT from Asus with passive cooling (EN8600GT Silent) and I noticed that the graphics card under load is obviously very hot (eg if I play Anno 1701 in the highest detail level for a longer time). The Asus Smart Doctor reports for example, directly after I reboot to finish the game, a temperature of 96 degrees (which then drops after all quite quickly, if I can start then on my Ubuntu installation, the NVidia settings tool is after the start for about 90 degrees with a constantly decreasing trend from). Now I ask myself now, is still within the normal? Instabilities or the like I could not actually been observed and mentioned the NVidia tool indicates that the card until 115 degrees (!) Would be danger. A case fan I was already in there and should also actually relatively straight blow to the graphics card ...
