I have a fanless 8400GS with 256MB RAM. Running at "maximum  
performance" (500Mhz NV Clock/333Mhz Memory Clock) the Core  
Temperature doesn't get above 60°C running highest bandwidth captures  
from the HD-PVR. Normal X usage I'm seeing it idle around 55°C. Takes  
about 3 minutes to heat up to that point and stayed there for the  
entire 1 hour program.
