Hi all,

I just installed a water block on my 4850 gpu and some ramsinks on the VRAM modules. GPU-Z's "MEMIO" sensor says the VRAM load temps don't get above 40C, but I don't buy it. So I put a temperature probe on the ramsink, and sure enough, it's reading 50C at idle and >90C at load! On the other hand, it seems totally stable. This is before any overclocking.

Does anyone know what's going on :confused:? You can't argue with the ramsink probe -- is that temperature normal? Is my MEMIO sensor broken? Should I do something about it?

Thanks!
