I wouldn't expect 32 degrees under load from an NV silencer 5. I have exactly the card you are referring to. An eVGA 6800GT running at Ultra speed. I get maybe 53 degrees idle and under load it may jump to 61 degrees or so. This seems to be consistent with what most are getting by reading the reviews from newegg.com on the cooler. Just in case you are curious, I am using Arctic Silver 5 for the GPU and the supplied non-silver paste for the memory chips.
