    Well I just purchased MOH Tier 1 and wow what a fun game. The main card reached 81 C but I want able to look at the temps until I exited the game, so I imagine that the temps were arounf 82-83. The slave card was at 68. Great game, been playing it with all settings maxed, no AA, no v Sync at 1200x900 I believe. I want to report accurate temps anf FPS but I do not know of what program will dsiplay those stats while the game is running.

    Ps
    The system is the old M17x 9800m SLI, 2.5 ECU with 4 gigs of RAM.

    You can record FPS with Fraps.

    +1 for FRAPS

    You can show fps/temps using Rivatuner too

    Going to try Rivatuner tonight, was playing MOH last night, got the settings up to 1400/1280 with AA on, the game looked gorgeous, played nice and smooth. I stopped every half our to check temps, main card got to 85. Im going to back off of the resolution until I get my arctic silver, dont want to fry the 9800m.

    85C is good, my old Asus G51 with 260m hit 94C(in only 15 minutes of gaming) before I re-pasted it. My old Asus G50 with 9800m hit 86C with stock paste in gaming.
