Hi there! I've got a 7800GS+ with Gainward's stock cooling running at 495/690 (Default 450/625) - not an extreme overclock and it seems to run HL2/Dark Messiah fine with no issues. However - the temperature is hitting around 72 degrees and I'm wondering if that's a little on the high side? When not running games, it idles at around 57 degrees. Whaddya think? Should I knock it back a notch? Thanks!
thats seems hot mate + if u go in the nvidia control panel u can see what the maximum temp ur card can hit as every cards different just have a look and let me no
Under the 'Core Slowdown Threshold'? It says 125 degrees but I'd guess if my card hits those kind of temps then it's already too late for it
Under 70 degrees - 62-65 approx. And yeah - the airflow ain't great in there - too much hardware and cables getting in the way - it's a dual Xeon too which probably doesn't help...
Niiice! So it's quite the overclocker then? What kind of cooling have you got on that? You're not using the stock cooler??
Those temps are a-ok. I have connected the fan directly to +12v so it runs 100% all time and I get 75c when running 650/1460 under heavy load.
Very cool! Is that volt-mod a pencil or paint job? Or is a little more involved than that? doublee: Thanks! Guess it'll be fine then
