[twitchee2]

I have a 6800gt and it has a zalman VF 700 cu. It ildes around 50c. This is a little warm fro my taste but is it normal? Anything you can sugest to maybe make it a little cooler? Thanks for all the help

Some pics in sig if you need them.

I don't know, that seems a little high to me with a Zalman installed. What were the temps with the stock cooling?

Yeah that's a tad warm. My 6800GT clocked at 440/1180 with an NV Silencer5r2 does 42C/54C idle/load.

I dont rememeber what stock was. But everst tells me it at 39-40ish, but nvidia and riva tuner tell me its at 49-50 so Im not sure which to believe

Unless you didn't install the heatsink properly, everest should be correct. What kinda of thermal paste did you use?

 

[twitchee2]

I used ceramque

acording to riva tuner, the card loads at 58c playing bf2

Do you guys think I need to disassemble my card and check it out? My 6800GT with NV5 idles a 55C stock speeds.

Step 1:

Remove all dust!

You would not beleive how much dust can ramp up your temps on these cards!!!

did that...there are just a few particles. i need to take the air compresser to it though

My card idles very very high, I don't know why. The temps are around 75 idle and they can get up to around 110 under load. I ordered a Zalman VF 900, hopefully that will help.

I had the Accelero X1 and my idle temp was 50c, Before that the stock cooler was 58c.I installed the NV5 rev3 and now my idle temp is 52c.
I figured that since it exhuasted the hot air out the back it might be a better cooling solution. BTW everest records the temp at 43c and the
nVidia utility records it at 52c. What gives?

My BFG 6800GT OC AGP card idled around 60C and load at 75C, abit hot, bought a PCI cooler dropped a little to 55/70. I think i need nv silencer or something like that.
