Mmmh, after somebody gave me the tesselation tip on CivV I turned that 
off and subsequently the operating temp of the gpu has dropped by 10C. 

I just installed Fallout 3 GOTY and that won't run with Asus Smartdoctor 
installed .. so I had to take my monitoring program off. Fine by me, 
really, my ears are good enough as monitoring program ;-)for the time 
being. I may not last long with Fallout, the thing is so bug-ridden in 
terms of crashes, it's just not funny. Not to mention that scratching 
and scrounging for ammo all the time is tedious as hell (no, my toon is 
a good shot, but how many 10mm bullets does it take to kill a 
supermutant ... 1 mag at least.
