i have a damn good case with excellent airflow

my p4 2.8 is running very nicely at 3.4 but this card just seems to get too damn hot!

MSI GeForce FX 5900 Ultra w/ Twin Turbo cooling or whatever it's called. (HSFs on Front and back) . Applied Arctic Silver to memory and GPU.
Idles at about 42~45°C idle and about 58°C under load, but Idles about 48° after it's been put under load.

BFG 6800 GT OC PCI Express Video Card

Fresh Start
GPU Core: 55C
Ambient: 35-38C

Idle Temperure:
GPU Core: 60-62
Ambient: 40-41

Load: (running UT2004)
GPU Core: 77-79C
Ambient: 53-58C

Load: (running NFS2: Underground)
GPU Core: 83-90C
Ambient: 60C



BFG 6800GT OC owners: are the load temps correct for my stock cooling?

Where are you reading ambient from, G? Load seems kind of toasty to me, but as long as you don't artifact or glitch it should be okay.

My computer restarted one time after I exitted NFS2:U @ 90-93C Load. I'm reading my temperatures from Windows OS: Video Card Properties Settings. Perhaps should I contact BFG to RMA it?

Your ambient really shoots up after some load. How's your case ventilation? If possible, try getting some air moving through. As an example, properties reports 30c ambient, and that's after an hour of Tribes:V.

I get the same temp idle/load readings for the video card when running EA Tiger Woods 2004 and UT2004. Could it be the video card is overstressed alot more when running high resolution games (the NFS2:U is running @ 1024x1080 resolution, highest detail settings)?

I have the Lian Li case with the Top front bay and floppy bay open. One 80mm exhaust fan next to the CPU HSF is directlry below the PSU (next to the CPU's HSF). The fan of the HSF is on the right side blowing air towards the exaust case. Another 80mm intake fan (modified) is set near the open floppy bay. Beneath it are two 80mm circulation fans. Also the PCI exhaust blower is set between the video and the 3rd PCI slot TV tuner card.


I don't have a picture available right now. Here's a rough visual on the air ventilation, top to bottom:

Back of Case ---> Front of Case
--------------------------------------
PSU exaust
Case exahust --> CPU HSF fan towards the exaust --> Front Bay open
Video Card stock cooler ---> modified 80mm fan intake --> front floppy bay open
TV tuner card
PCI blower exaust ----> two 80mm fan circulation

I could try rearranging the Arctic Freezer HS so that the fan is directly above the GPU, which then blows the GPU core's hot air towards the aluminum HS heatspreader/PSU. However, I just ran out of thermal pastes >_<.

ATI X700 Pro @ 500/1000 w/ Zalman VF700Cu on low fan setting (5v)

Avg Idle 35
Avg Load 52
Max load ever seen 55

(stock temps were 41,70,72)

Thumbs up for Zalman.

Leadtek 6600GT HTD 128MB AGP

Stock HSF. Not impressed w/ the temp monitoring software at all. (WinFox)

Ok.....its getting warm outside so it's time to bring my watercooler inside. I just got my chiller setup and going the other day.

X800XTPE @ 600Mhz / 600MHz

-10C Idel
-2C - 5C under load from playing CSS for hours.

hmmm watercooler... nice

6800GT @ 425/1150 With NV5
IDLE ~49C to 53C depending on ambient.
LOAD low 70's.

 

[MTSteel]

Gigabyte 6600GT

IDLE 50-51
Load I have seen it go as high as 70 looping 3dMark2001SE, about 66-68 highest i have seen playing CS:S.
Everything stock on it.

 

[Borealis316]

Visiontek X800XT w/Zalman vf700-cu on silent

Idle: 32C
Load: 52C

Stock cooler was: 44C idle, up to 75C under load. Go Zalman!

 

[kini62]

6800GT stock- idle 50sC- load 90sC (using nVidias monitor) even with the side cover off the case

X850XT-PE (current card)
Idle- Low 50s
Load Mid 90s (using ATI Tool)
Even at the above temp the fan never gets above 20%- So I guess it's normal. I can play HL2 or Doom III for hours with ambient temp in the 80sF with no problems.

 

[TheVrolok]

eVga 6800

Idle's at like 66C.. Load all of a sudden is now at 95C ... I don't recall it EVER getting this high.. from what I remember load always used to stay around 80Cish.. I really need to figure out what's going on before my card melts.

BFG 6800GT w\ Zalman VF700-Cu @ 5V
