People with 6800GTs.

[ManBearPig]

What temps are you getting?

mine is ideling at 64C and goes to as much as 83C or so. I feel like this is causing ALOT of artifacting and even BSODs. Just curious as to what other peoples temps are to see if it is the temp or not.

And i cant even clean the damn thing, its a BFG 6800GT OC and there is no removable plate to get to the HS.

thanks

I sold mine a few months ago, but that's quite normal. Mine would idle around 65C and load at 85-90C depending on the game. That was after I cleaned off the stock thermal crap and reseated the HSF with AS5 (it was getting up to 105C and starting to crash/artifact before that; afterwards it was fine even at 90C though). I wouldn't really worry about those temperatures. Also, I'm unfamiliar with the BFG heatsink but I'm assuming it's a different design from the stock/reference Nvidia one, so I won't be of any help for you trying to take it off

it can be taken off, my cousin has taken his off to reseat, when his psu wouldnt let his pc boot with the card, he thougt it was the cards fault

Mine used to go to 85C or so when I had it. If you have the version with the dual 40mm fan cooler (which is what I had), it's comparable to the reference cooler but louder.

I've said this before and I'll say it again because I love to say it:

"The 6800GT is notorious for having high temps"

With an NV Silencer I get around 54C idle and load around 70-72C.

yea mine tops at 90C without the AC

I put a NV Silencer on mine and it help tremendously. Don't remeber exact temps, but it dropped loaded temp by >10C.
