7600GT temps

[avi85]

I'm probably gonna get a 7600GT in a couple of weeks and I was wondering what kind of temps I can expect on the evga 7600GT KO with the stock HS and what I could expect if I would go for a vf900.

also is there a difference betwen the co and the ko besides the heatsink?

I received my 7600GT KO it idles around 55-60 C (depending on the ambient) and loads up to 77-80 C

Then I replaced the stock HSF with the zalman VF900, it idles around 47 and loads up to 60 C. I never seen the load temps going above 60 C

happy with the purchase. The stock HSF is pure crap imo.

did lowering your temps increase your overclock?

It generally will, yes.

My 7600GT fan is so loud, I can't stand it. So I set fan speeds to 25% - 33%, never have a problem with temperatures going past ~70C if I remember correctly.

I assume that's with RivaTuner - does RivaTuner have to be running to control the fan speeds, or once it's set, it's done "permanent"?

Passive 7600GT ftw

which 7600gt do you have, just wanna know what to avoid cause I probably won't get the vf900 for a month or two
