100c?

decrypt3r · 18 Nov 2008 at 12:21

My 4850 runs at 100c-110c on stock cooler (25%)

i like to keep it silent and cant get a new cooler yet

will this kill my gpu?

thats WAY too hot.
if the card died i would not be surprised.

If you stay at that temp too long, the money you will be spending on a new cooler will be going towards a replacement graphics card.

Time to turn the fan speed up a bit!

"we rate the chips to work up to 105o C which is quite a bit higher than the temperatures you'll be normally seeing"

Just because they work that high doesnt mean its good for them though

either turn the fan up, buy a new GFX cooler, or let your card die. then you will have to spend a lovley ammount on a new one

jakspyder · 18 Nov 2008 at 17:35

decrypt3r · 18 Nov 2008 at 18:39

For a CPU yes, however for a GPU it would be ok. However I would recommend a custom cooler which will be both silent and keep the temps down as well.

My 4870 with AS1 cooler (with two silent 92mm fans) sits at about 40c in Windows and not much higher during games.

I agree with Duke normally a GPU can go up to 140C then it'll start acting funny and chances are it'll burn up. But yerr i wouldn't allow my GPU anywhere near 60-70 nevermind 100C.
If you nosey on the manufacturers website chances are it'll tell you what temp it'll burn up on. But from my experience you still have some head room.

lolol, 4850's run hot, but not that hot!! 80c MAX.

My 4850 has been overclocked a little to 710'ish on the core and runs to 59 degrees at full load with the fan at 35%.

decrypt3r · 19 Nov 2008 at 09:37

will this be good enough?

Either go with the new cooler or why not just create new fan profiles for games? When playing games a louder fan isn't really an issue

Duke · 19 Nov 2008 at 13:38

I'd go for one of these

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showp...=Arctic Cooling Accelero S1 Rev. 2 VGA Cooler

And buy a 92mm or 120mm fan to go on it
