Did anyone else notice a temperature drop on gtx2xx series cards? On my gtx295 as well as my 2 gtx260s while running folding at home temps used to be in the mid 90s now none of the cards break 85c

I didn't notice this on my gtx460s
However they are not doing that driver recover black screen thing though that unijabnx2000 or ElricM are experiencing

Not at all, I used them on my previous install and I just reinstalled windows over the weekend and haven't received it with my 580.
