[mythtv-users] Nvidia card temps

Hi , 

I've recently purchased an Nvidia Geforece 9500GT passively cooled for
use with mythtv VDPAU.  Stupid thing also takes up 2x pci / backpanel
slots.

It all seems to be working fine most of the time, but it does get hot.
60 degrees C at idle , 80-90 degrees on load.  

According to nvidia-settings and the gnome applet for hardware
monitoring/ sensors. 

Does anyone know if this is normal? Should I be worried. My CPU sits
around 30-40 degrees C.

Does anyone have or know of a 8000 series passive cooled card that works
well with VDPAU and only takes up a single pci  slot? And if so, what
temps are you getting?

Thanks in advance
