Video Cards Temperatures

[chari]

I have been reading through the forum here and see that vid card temps are pretty high..
I have an ATI x1900XTX and i am running about 70-80 celsius..
so im wondering if that is bad...
i would think the plastic on this thing will melt at a certain temp....idk
please lemme know if this is to be expected and is ok.
THanks

thats pretty regular with X1900's.

is that idle or full load?

I have a similar concern... idle around - 51 and load about 65 C. I have good case airflow though. I am seriously thinking of removing the stick HSF and either try lapping it or if that doesnt work - replace it with a accelero X2 or a zalman. I wish they had used a better cooling system on it...

Otherwise no complaints - works like a dream...

You have the XT though - is it known to suffer from similar heat probs?
... And I just noticed ur scythe ninja with 120mm setup... I dont know how close this fan is located - but if its close enough... it might be doing a lot for ur cooling(especially the back of ur VGA.

Just curious - how cool does ur CPU run? Especially if u OC. (I had wanted that scythe for my rig, but the size was a concern, since my MOBO is kinda weird that way...)
