I installed a new vid card. a PNY Verto GeForce 8400 GS. and it is running at a steady temp of 136 Fahrenheit.(58 C)
Should I be concerned about this,or is this normal for the card to run this hot?

What's the normal temp for a cpu

I am not sure about the card you are using but my PCU temp is 107 Fahrenheit and I have a Compaq that is dead stock.

Under heavy load (like when playing 3D games) GeForce cards are normal under 100-110 Celsius.

Most 8400GS users have reported running temperatures ranging between 48-60 C, so 58 C is quite alright.
You only need to worry if it crosses 75 C.

Assuming your card is actively cooled by a fan, you could try tweaking your card's fan speed using RivaTuner.

In reference to garmanma, 100 to 110 C ,to me seems way to high. but if it is normal under a heavy load I guess It will be ok.

to all who have helped,Thank You for responding.
