It's been running nicely for me since the review...i haven't even looked at temps or messed with anything; just left it at stock clocks, latest PhysX drivers (useless feature to me though).

And that's exactly how it should be.

I'll worry about overclocking the card later maybe when it gets a bit colder here.

Default I just...
picked up a GTX 260 Core 216, and for $300 it's a very good card. I can't justify a GTX 280 comparing it's price/performance to the GTX 260 Core 216.
