Under full load at 540/500 (vpu/ram) settings while playing FarCry. :)

What are your X800 temps?

That's pretty warm....and pretty scary. How long were you playing? and how high can those things go (according to ATi)? Is the stock cooling not adequate for these new cards?

For about 5-10 mins. I've played on these settings all day before I took the temp readings using ATITool, and without crashing or hard locking, so I'm not too worried. My temps come down idle at 47 degrees.

I've seen FX5900s hit over 85C under load, if it's stable it's fine (unless you're going for an insane overclock).

That's crazy high temps on the Nvidia card.

Anyone else with X800 Pros want to chime in their temps?

An X800Pro made it to 540Mhz with the stock HSF? That's good news. Most of the others I have seen were 525.

What are the temps at stock speeds?

I own a Leadtek Card

I asked thier advice what should be the ideal temperatures and what are the MAx temperatures.

In reply those Crazy people told me that the MAx temperature for Nvidia Chips ( Nv 28 ) is 105 deg,
what about that, any how they told me that optimally temperatures should remain within 60 deg..

I was planning on buying an X800 my self but dude you are scaring me with temperatures.

Will a Giant III fit the X800???

You're easily scared then, someone overclocks an already speedy card all to heck and it gets hot, all I can say to that is duhhh. :p

Haha. Stock temps are only about 1 degree cooler (at least while idle) on my X800.

Idle: 47 degrees
Full load: 73 degrees
Ambient: 22 degrees

Yes, these cards clock very nicely, but don't really need to be, as they are fast for gaming at stock settings.

So are you saying that the load temps are the same whether you overclock or not?

Load temp vary by game and directx/ogl/resolution settings.

As for idle temps, overclocking only ups the temp by 1 degree, so yes, it doesn't really effect temps as I am not increasing any voltages to the card.

I just received my Visiontek X800 Pro yesterday and my load/idle temps are pretty much the same as yours while running 525/525. Using ATI Tool, it read 47C idle and hit 74C after a couple of runs of 3DMark03 (scored 10,900 at 525/525!).

Sorry to dig up this post after a couple of weeks, but I'd like to see the temps other peeps are getting with the Pro now that more are out. If anyone knows what the maximum operating temp of the new gpu is, please post. Thanks!

My Visiontek x800 Pro runs 555/600, and at idle it hovers around 47-50C. After running 3DMark03 the ATiTool 0.0.20 reports the gpu temp to be @ 76C. I'll loop it a few more times and see if anything changes.

Great overclock John! Did atitool give you those core/mem numbers as your max stable or did you set it manually? You've inspired me to try for more tonight. ;) It's also good to see that all three of our cards are running at about the same temps idle/load. Pretty incredible that the gpu can handle that much heat and remain stable. Thanks for the numbers!

Wow... I wonder if this has anything to do with ATI using a 1 slot design and a quiet fan. Are they sacrificing a cooler running card to maintain a 1 slot quiet card? I've NEVER seen my FX5900 @ 490/940 get above 65 C. (even in a 35 degree C case)

Pretty incredible that the gpu can handle that much heat under load with the stock heatsink/fan.

Why does the stock heatsink/fan have anything to do with how the GPU holds up to certain temperatures? 73 degrees C is 73 degrees C with the stock heatsink/fan, no heatsink/fan, or phase change cooling...

Jeff, it's early and I'm still half asleep. Thanks for pointing out that line made no sense, and I edited it. ;)

My FX5900 will throttle down if the temp reaches 145 C (at least that's what it says in the drivers).

Your temps won't make it to 145C. Before it hits that your core will melt.

As for the speculation about ATi sticking ot a 1 slot design but getting much hotter, ive been saying it all along. I said even boefire they came out that Nvidia os known to go overboard with cooling. Nvidia might have a 2 slot design but im guessing its much cooler than ATI's.

I think silicon melts a little higher than 145 degrees C :D

It might...but no chip would make it that high. Maybe it wouldn't melt but the intense heat of the chip would force expansion and the chip might crack. Not to mention the thermal grease between the CPU and HSF would be way passed boiling. Naw i think max temp for most things right now hover around 85C for CPUs and 90 for GPUs.

My 5900 rarely goes above 65 and the 6800 has been shown to stay more in the 50s. I guess there goes the "ATI is cooler" argument.
