GPU idle and load temps

Sapphire X800GTO
600/600
38 Minimum Idle (After ten minutes of the PC being on)
60 Max Load (Straight after dropping out of FEAR on high settings)
 
Sapphire x800GTO2 @ 540/590MHz with ATI Silencer 5 Rev 2

Idle: ~30 (between 28 and 31)

Load: ~45 (between 43 and 46)

Temps measured using graphs from AtiTTools during a 1-2hr gaming session
 
ASUS EN7800GTX TOP @ 500/1350MHz with standard mounted AC NV Silencer 5 Rev. 3

Idle: 34°C (leaving pc on for ten minutes and doing nothing)

Load: 62°C (half an hour of "cooking with RTHDRIBL")
 
3D1 at stock is 55 average at idle, about 75 average load. When its at 531/1.22, 54 average at idle, and 73 at stock. Kinda weird, but o well... I use Rivatuner for temperature reads...
 
How is everyone measuring the load temperature of their GPU? Do you leave the control panel open in the background, run a game for a while, then switch back to it?
 
Well, ATiTool runs in the systray with a temperature reading, so an alt-tab to another window shows it.

No idea about nVidia cards though 😛
 
eVGA 6800gs with stock cooler. 43C idle. No load numbers, sorry. Not bad for a Sonata case without the front fan.
 
6800GT with passive Evercool dual heatpipe cooler, not overclocked, idles at 37ºC. Don't know load temps.
 
RivaTuner has a hardware monitor that you can run in the background when you're playing games, testing etc. It keeps a chart for you so you can see your temps, clock rate, etc.

EVGA 7800 gtx modded with thermalright v-1 ultra overclocked 500/1300 idle 41 load 47. Yes, the delta between idle and load is very small. Thermalright king of cooling!
