I am not sure how long this has been happening but i checked my GPU temp yesterday and its a 91 Degrees.
It took me a while but i have now worked out that it is xbmc causing it, it is fine when i am watching something but when idle its causing the temp to creep up and up.
I am running Slackware Current with the latest driver from nvidia my card is a gt430 which is actively cooled and xbmc 11 rc2.
I have tried google for an answer but the best i have found is this
http://trac.xbmc.org/ticket/6727
I am running at 100fps just to display the screen, has any progress been made to slow this down?
I have tried setting the screen saver to black and opened xbmc around the time i started to register for the forum in the 3 mins before the black screen the gpu temp reached 84 degrees and is has still been climbing its now at 88 with the fan speed at 85%
