“Hey mate, 60 degree celcius for a IDLE pc is really bad. What is your ambiant temperature? 50? Cause that�s 1 impossible, 2 quite hot”–Tom

Its not impossible for a graphics card to idle at 60 degrees celsius. My card idles at about 70 celsius and when I am playing graphic intensive games it goes up to 95 to 100 degrees. (kind of explains why I am looking into water cooling)Furthermore I think reaching a temperature of 20 would actually be what is impossible as that is below room temperature, and as the water used in a water cooling unit is not cooled itself the lowest temperature the water could be is room temperature. But room temp is much lower then computer temp and so the unit helps to bring the cards temp closer to room temp BUT NOT BELOW IT.

I recorded them with a random software to record CPU temp sensors off the BIOS. You can google for something?
