I agree with NizeGuy and bmgjet, you shouldn't mine with such a card. If you still want to mine, consider downclocking your card with a tool like MSI Afterburner
I have the same card.
My gpu temp went to 143 degrees!
Not recommended for mining.

put a heat shield between your gpu and hard drives. Look at your GPU's clock and bring it down. Open the side of your case and see if it helps.
Dont waste your time, If your making less then 100MHash/s your losing money.
Unless, of course, he keeps his Bitcents and the price of Bitcoin skyrockets to $xxx or $x,xxx or $xx,xxx. But then again, buying is so much easier, and spending is the American way.

It's a waste of time and effort mining 28 Mhash/s.
so i have been mining bitcoins with my gpu on and average of 28 mhash/s
(a geforce 9800 GTX plus) back in the days it was the fastest available...
however i noticed the temps can really run up high (85 degrees centigrade) causing my pc to shut down for security reasons...
my hdd also runs up to high tempratures, i am goign to buy some fans however i want to make sure my pc caps it's capacity when it reaches certain tempratures (hdd 48 degrees gpu 80 maybe even less...)
maybe anyone of you knows a good programme for capping it's capacity at higher temps...
