    well my Card is running much hotter than normal....i think the reson is is that im a noob at overclocking and attempted to do so...so i changed all the settings back to normal and its still running 7degrees hotter than it normally did (around 47 when surfing and on desktop and 52 when games are played) i dont know if its cause i need to un-install this overclocking program or what...any help would be appreciated. ive tried everything i know.

    the card is a BFG 7800 GT OC

    What program did you use to overclock your card? Temperatures should revert back to normal when you've set the speeds back to what they were, besides 52 degrees when playing games is pretty cool for a GPU stressed.

    My graphics card runs at 53 degrees idle, and goes well into the 60's when I play games.

    hmm well i used coolbits, i think i figured out the prob....im running my system on the 375 W PSU i had bought this comp with....i think i just need more power. its just when my card hits 60s i can notice a diff in the cards performance, even in games like GW which is nothing compaired to like Oblivion and X3
