Title says it all really. Googling isn't really giving me a proper answer... seems like a lot of people don't measure VRM temps, which is rather worrying in itself. The main reason I'm asking is because the VRM cooling... well the cooling as a whole really, on the HD7950 Vapor-X I bought was nothing short of abysmal, even after several attempts at re-seating the VRM & Vapor-X cooling my temps were still absolute crap.. 90c GPU temps and 106-120c VRM temps under load - this was all at stock frequencies too. After much re-designing of the VRM cooling and replacing the Vapor-X GPU cooler entirely with a Gelid Icy Vision A I think I have finally got all temps under control but would like to verify.

My temps after letting Heaven 3.0 run for about 20 mins:
Does that seem about right to everyone? Difficult to know what to set the bar at when there isn't really any VRM results out there to look at for the 7950/7970
