OK, I've just been playing a game of BF2142 Demo, and I've had NVIDIA Control Panel open on my second monitor keeping a eye on my graphics card temp.
Now, the weird thing is, while I was playing, it was getting up to 115C, and when the game is closed, and the GPU is idle, it still only seems to go down to 60C minimum.
I know the control panel is getting the temperature straight from the driver, because I checked in Everest, and it's saying the GFX temp sensor is just NRV-DRIVER, not a hardware sensor.
So the question is, should I be worried about my card seemingly being over 100C, or should I just put it down to the fact that the software sensor is probably playing games with me?
