Hello everybody,
So i was woundering how hot everyones video card gets?

Mine is currently 52-58c but its only this because i used Riva Tuner to set the fan speed to 45% but at its orignally fan speed (which is 27%) ill get some kind of warning that my card gets to hot.

Of course at the moment it if working perfect on 45% fan speed,

Mine gets up to like.. 65-70C with 80% fan speed, stock is 60% and it usually gets 60-70 in winter at stock, but naturally in the summer I have to up it a bit.

320mb 8800GTS is what I am using.

For my new PC I just got with a 8800gt 512 MB, I get around 55C playing Guild Wars at 60% fan speed. But more graphic intense games like Crysis it gets to around 70-75C. On idle, it sits at 48-52C

55c Idle, 70c stressed. I flashed a bios into my 3870 that fixed the fan speeds so that it scales itself like it should. (nomally it would stick at slow even when getting 90c)

30 idle, 40 under load. Installing that DuOrb cooler has really helped

Unless you run a really weak gpu, i find this statement a bit hard to believe. http://www.tweak.dk/tests2.php?id=1604

34C idle/42C load. gtx280, dd-tieton.

71C idle, 82C load

Gainward GeForce 8800 GTS 320MB
58C idle, up to 70C load (possibly higher if I play for extended times)
stock fan at 60%

I got my 2 new 8800 GTS 512MB today, will see how they will cope.

Actually no that's not hard to believe. Proper fans and heatsinks can cool your GPU to an unbelievable amount.

On-Topic: I run a 8800GT 512MB with 100% fan speed getting 41C idle and 55C under high stress. But while play Guild Wars I'll usually get around 47-49C.

I have this one: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814150254

The DuOrb doesn't have adjustable fanspeed so it's stuck on 100% all the time, but it's still awfully quiet compared to the stock fan. Also, my airflow in my case is somehow very good, and I have a case cooler right below it and it sucks away the hot air that's being blown from the heatsinks.

Myn are 50° when idle (doesnt happen much

) They are always doing something. I have 2 22" Samsung monitors (one of them always is playing a dvd or tv program, the other one is for GW/Crysis/CoD4) So my temp increases to 95degrees most of the time. (I have 2 8800GTX 768MB DDR3 G-cards) I can get the temp down if i want by connecting my other coolers in my case (4total). The temp in my case is around 80degrees all the time (6HDD, 2G-cards, Tv-card, 1200W power supply). But i'm thinking about taking out 1 G-card and 3HDD and put them in my other pc.

47 idle and 55 when playing guild wars. using a 9600GT

How can you check your temperature of your graphics card? Not overclocking or anything but just curious. I have a geforce 7900 GS right now and it seems to be running fine, only problem is that I had a 7800 GTX or something that burned out for no good reason.

It could be in your videocard settings page ( right mouse click desktop -> nVidia control panel ), if it's not there, I'd recommend downloading GPU-Z. since you said you weren't planning over clocking. If you do, download RivaTuner

Monk Gsb · Jul 01, 2008, 03:37 PM // 15:37

my pc gets so hot it just crashes, so god knows how hot my actual vid card gets xD

Zomgyogi · Jul 01, 2008, 04:12 PM // 16:12

Aera I downloaded GPU-Z but I don't see the temperature anywhere.

Thanks, but also my comp freezes if GPU & GW are running at the same time

and... This is all I got

moriz · Jul 01, 2008, 04:15 PM // 16:15

it's in the second tab.

Open up the program and there should be a sensor tab, either that or that program is not working for you. At idle my computer is running around 46 C at 20% fan speed.

I don't have numbers, but in the summer my PC can overheat to the point of shut down in as little as 10 - 30 minutes in GW, unless I open the case and point a box fan at it. Noisy

, but effective. It runs fine in the winter.
