I have had my 2900XT since May and have not seen it go above 80c hardly ever. A couple times when my ambient temp was over 40c I would see it get into the 90's, but other than that it's been pretty steady.
Any reason now after installing Cat 7.8's I'm seeing temps 87c-95c even when its 28c ambient in this room? Did I lose contact with the heatsink on the GPU or something?
edit: all I can think of is that the 7.8 or 7.7 cats changed the fan speed temperatures, my power supply change (ocz 700w gamextream -> silverstone DA750 8pin) added more voltage to the card, perhaps dust or heatsink contact isn't good anymore. Either way, anyone else notincing this crap recently?
