Well im not sure the average stock temps for a 6800GT seems to be around in the 50's c for idle and load varies per setup tiss around 60-70-80c, Mine stayed around 53c idle and 75c load.

Watercooled its about 39c idle and 45c load

With the stock heatsink my eVGA 6800gt was around 52C idle and 65C loaded. I've since gone to a NV Silencer 5 which drops my temps about 5C. Looking at candyman's temps I am seriously thinking of going to watercooling. Wonder if I could integrate a peltier in with the watercooling to really drop the temps.
