Average Temps on X1900XT?

Caecus Veritas · 03-26-2006, 06:17 AM

I'm curious as to what temperature other people are posting on this card. Mine is showing about 54C idle and around 90C when playing games (stock cooling). I have it set to oc at XTX levels but temps seem to be approximately the same as non-oc'ed. Kinda wondering if i should plonk down another 50 bucks for better cooling...

I have a X1800XT and mine hits mid 80's on full load. I think its normal for these cards to run hot.

Mine 7900GTX is 39 idle and 60 load and i hear nothing from the stock vift

When I'm benching @ 685/1520 I get around 40C idle and 65C load*.

*w/ fans @ 100%

Same idle temp as you, mid 50's. Load it around 80c, close to mid 80's. Thats with two XT's, but Overdive only reads one cards temp. Im pretty sure its reading the bottom (main) cards temp. The card above is probably a little warmer.

Those of you running near 80C at full load, whats the ambient temp in your computer room? Whats the airflow like in your case? Need some details here.

With Accelero X2 my XT idles around 41-44C gets into the 70's on full load I think though. With stock cooling it was similar to the rest's temps.

60C idle and 75-80C under load with stock cooler.

Caecus Veritas · 03-27-2006, 03:37 AM

hmmm... i guess i'm slightly running on the higher end of the temp (btw, running the bloated CCC - haven't tried the ATI tools or tray yet).

my case is the thermaltake tsunami .. 2x 120mm fans front/back 1x 90mm fan on side. all cables are SATA so there isn't much blockage in terms of airflow.. temp on MB is 37C according to PC Probe.. Wonder if getting an accelero would be a smart thing to do with the current temp readings.

My 1900XTX runs in the 80's on full load. I definately have poor ventilation in my case though. A soon as i have a new motherboard im moving from my SSF back into a full ATX case.

Who cares it has nothing to do with the topic.

Anywayz. Mine goes up to 85C on load and 47 on idle

42 idle 63 max load /w a zalman vf700

Yreka · 03-27-2006, 11:51 AM

With the stock cooler mine got about 50 idle and would normally hover around 70 while gaming. I had seen it get up to 90 once or twice though.

santz · 04-06-2006, 12:27 AM

my idle temperature is 73 C, and while gaming, goes up to 105 C, please help, what could be wrong.

Stock Cooler:
Idle 44c (fan speed set by ATI Tool and running at 55%)
Load 63c (fan speed at 100%)

gersson · 04-06-2006, 12:59 AM

I get 75 on load @ XTX stock speeds.

Fan @ 100%. But its the artic cooling accelero x2.
Doesn't do as good a job as I wanted, except it's 100% silent @ 100% speed!

buzzsaw13 · 04-06-2006, 01:08 AM

I get around 40C idle and low 70s on load flashed to XTX and running at 700/750

phantom404 · 04-06-2006, 02:47 AM

I would say its about normal. Thats what mine was then i stuck the Accelero x2 on and now mine goes about 64,65 on load and about 44 ish on idle. But its quiet!!!

A hot running cpu and video card in a poorly ventilated case = HIGH HIGH TEMPS

You need to get better ventilation. Replace current fans w/ better ones. Possibly add a slot cooler. Keep your case open.

santz · 04-07-2006, 10:14 AM

already tried with case open, still no difference

Munky · 04-07-2006, 11:03 AM

Maybe your cooler is not making good contact with the gpu core. If you're feeling up to it, you can either take off the stock cooler, and reseat it with a thin layer of AS5, or you can buy an aftermarket cooler. If not, then just RMA the card, because 105C is way too hot for the video card.

santz · 04-08-2006, 07:08 AM

i rma'd the videocard, .............daaaaaaaaamn, another week of delay b4 i play oblivion with HDR and AA enabled....!!

josh6079 · 04-08-2006, 02:13 PM

What temps were you getting with the stock cooler?
