Question about GPU Temp...

[GeeFizzleDizzle]

My brand new XFX GeForce 7600GT XXX Edition PCI-E vid card idles at around 54 degrees celcius. Is this ok or should I be worried?

I played about 15-20 minutes of Quake 4 and when I exited and checked the vid card temp it had gone up to around 59 degrees celcius...is this also ok?

Sounds ok to me.

Youd have even more of a shock if you had an X1900 Mine hits 85 degrees celcius on full load

Those temps are fine, well within acceptable tolerances.

My Radeon X800XTPE idle runs around 44c and over 76C under full load running DX 8 or Open GL titles, and near the 73C running DX 9 tittles. Seems that the R4X0 generation cards works harder to run DX 8 or Open GL titles.

73C, isn't that too high, what's a safe temperature to run your cards at?

 

[Munky]

Video card have a higher temperature tollerance than cpu's. Most of the high end cards from the r4xx generation run between 70-80C at full load using default cooling, so they must have been designed to tollerate those temps.

dont forget nvidia 6 series are toasty, i saw 90 once on my card i almost freaked

x1800xt at 76c max (atitool) . . clocked at 664 core / 810 mem with 1.4v . .

i guess i'm not too worried till i see 80c + . . even then its prob "ok" . .
