The only thing is, NiBiTor have trouble to read it correctly and my card doesn't show the ambient temp...
Last thing, Inno3D have the most inefficient cooling system... 60°C in idle (50°C after cleaning and applying artic silver). I've read on Zalman site that it was possible to install the ZM80C-HP on the 6600GT well not the Inno3D.
Sorry for my English, I've done my best... cya File Attachment:File name: IN6600GT.romFile size:64512 bytes Mmm 50°C is a good temp, I'm guessing your ambient/card temp is 33°C then? 
It's important to list both temps because you need them both to evaluate whether your cooling is effecient.
It seems that a lot of card manufacturers are getting sloppy in the assembly of the heatsink on the cards.
Also, you need to check the heatsink screws after a few days of running because when the gunk settles, it gets a tiny bit thinner and the screws may get a little loose.
