Temps on 6600gt

[sdgserv]

I bought an xfx 6600gt. Card runs great. Oc'd to 570 runs like champ..
What is a safe temp for this card? Mine OC'd runs at 52 degrees.

Can you keep your card oc'd all the time? or does it harm it. I mean at the max

or can you oc it a little and use it all the time at a reduced oc?

I don't think I am going back to ATI anytime soon..This little card eats my MSI 9800 pro.


thanks

If you are using the built in "temperature" tab in the drivers, be aware that the card drops temperature RAPIDLY after you exit a 3D application.

Use RivaTuner and leave it running in the background and then make the card work hard and see what the temperature looks like.

I don't think you have a problem, but I think your temperature is probably a little higher than you think.
