I've got an overheat problem on my ATI X800XT card after about 1 hour running with BVE 4.2. This is the only application that causes this. I don't overclock but after 1 hour I get a warning that the card is reducing clockspeed to protect itself. When using my other 3D applications the card don't get nearly as hot. According to the Catalyst control it gets upward to 90 degree centigrade. With my other APPS it doesn't get any hotter than 70. I checked my fan's and they seem to be operating fine. Needless to say I've stopped using it. It's a shame because the Northern London line is very well done. Has anybody else seen anything like this?

RE: Strange problem with BVE 4.2
There's no way it should be doing anything like this. My suspicion, and I can't confirm this :P is that a bug somewhere in the interaction with BVE & the display driver is causing the GPU to run at 100% usage, and this is causing the overheating you are experiencing. 70 degrees also sounds rather high for a normal operating temp.
Try different ( www.omegadrivers.net ) or newer drivers, and see if these make any difference.
