6600 GTOC Temperature??
How hot is this card suppose to run. I have an LCD on my case that monitors temp of CPU, HDD, and VGA. When I am working in windows on Office, etc the card runs 102 F. When I play GW it immediately shoots up to 141 F. The stupid alarm, sounds like a watch, starts at 140 F. I am going to yank the speaker wires out but was curious as to the limits of temperature on the GPU.

I have a Chaintech 6600GT and it never goes above 48 C (or 118.4 F) even while playing GW. You may have a defiective card. Is it the LCD in the case that alarms or is it the nVidia temp monitor (in nVidia control panel) that is tripping the alarm?

It is the LCD on the front of my case. Probaly not the highest quality device. I have the temp probe in between the GPU and the Heatsink with the fan. I am not sure where they actually take the official "Nvidia" reading from. Where do I find the Nvidia control panel temp info?

It may not be enabled on your card. It can be found by right clicking open area of desktop, settings, advanced, 6600GT Tab, and it should be in the left hand pop out window under Temperature Settings. If you don't have it and feel brave (I was) you can follow this wonderful little guide here: http://www.ocia.net/articles/tempmonitoring/page1.shtml to enable temperature monitoring. I did it and it works fine. Follow the guide step by step and you will be fine.

Found it. It says right around 70C the whole time I am playing GW. All settings are maxed out and I am running 1280x1024 - dual monitors. When I close GW temp drops down to a balmy 52-56C.
Is there a Free/Shareware program that I can run in the system trau that would monitor temperature of Video and CPU. I love little gadgets like that. Especially if they don't take a ton of resources. |
