i got upto 105 degrees when playing, is it actually normal? i am in a hot country and it is fairly hot now even if its night time. all fans are on 100%

thx.

at about what temp would it be considered ok?

zapgod · 3 Oct 2009 at 21:57

i dont know what to do..

zapgod · 3 Oct 2009 at 22:18

well isnt there anything else i can do until i get those pieces delivered to me ?

zapgod · 3 Oct 2009 at 22:20

i actually have the sapphire vapor-x ones.

zapgod · 3 Oct 2009 at 22:27

i need a program to measure the temps, ATI catalyst is just giving me 1 temp which is 91 right now after like 3 4 mins of playing, originally around 80. dont have a thermometer here but i can say that im wearing shorts and a t shirt the fan is on full and my window is open and i dont feel cold, or hot

anyone?

zapgod · 3 Oct 2009 at 23:26

thank you very much

well ocuk doesnt ship to where i live so it might be a long time before i can actually get the aftermarket coolers and the panel on my case also has a fan on it pushing air out of the case, ive tried to turn it around to make it push air into the case, still no difference.

with this tool i am getting 84 on the 1st GPU and 63 on the 2nd one at idle.

is that normal to have difference between 2 cards?

zapgod · 4 Oct 2009 at 07:56

anybody? i really need help...

zapgod · 4 Oct 2009 at 08:51

i know that, im just asking is it normal to have about 20 degrees difference between the first and the second card.

zapgod · 4 Oct 2009 at 09:06

what can i do to be sure that its faulty?

zapgod · 4 Oct 2009 at 09:49

when i set the fan speed to 100 and back to 50 i can hear the difference, so i guess that means its not faulty?

zapgod · 4 Oct 2009 at 12:07

well everything juust about fits in the case, the case is a thermaltake kandalf VA9003SWA case, but the fan is sticking out instead of being inside because it wouldnt fit

and the graphics card is at the left bottom so possibly the worst place <.<

both the card fans are 100%, mine idles around there too. on load its like 95 or so

zapgod · 4 Oct 2009 at 20:12

currently i have a core clock of 870 and memory clock of 1050, how much do i have to lower them to have about 5 degrees of less temp

zapgod · 5 Oct 2009 at 13:28

i havent overclocked them, these are stock of the vapor-x

where i live they are kinda impossible to sell, the top end card here is 4650 lol

got a small 9cm fan, opened a case just a tiiinyy bit id say about 30 degrees, then put the fan blowing air onto the cards, and the huge 25 cm fan to blow the air out of the case, now i get 78 at load from 82 at idol before.

thing is, im thinking of making a hole in the case window, to put the fan there so i wont have to leave the case a bit open, if i do that im gna install 1 more fan so i can drop the fan from 100% to auto

so is that ok?
