thank you very much, now I no longer hesitate.Well, don't ever rely on some video showing temps, you have to look at it this way:
1) Room temps (you don't know if the room temp is similar to yours)
2) Air flow (the case you have may be better/worse)
3) Overclock profile (if you're not overclocking, temps are going to be cooler)
4) Brand and Model of the GFX, there are several models and cooling solutions for 1 card, ASUS has its DirectCU II, MSI has its Twin Frozr II.. just to name a few.
aaaaaand, last but not least.
5) Your other components. :)
The same thing i told another forum fella once: just because you saw a Core i5 750 getting to 4.2GHz on air, doesn't mean that yours is going to behave exactly the same way, you have to take a look at the other variables to make your decision.
BTW: HIS' IceQ Turbo X are extremely cool GFX, their cooling solution is off the chains! go for it
