Okay, I just installed my new lovely 9800pro.

I have yet not even thought about OCing it.

But after 1 hour of UT04 my card is really hot, I can barely touch it.

Normal?!?

Normal for stock cooling. Just make sure you have good case airflow.

It's completely normal. And you'd better not to touch it too often with your dirty hands.
