4890 toxic temps

c61ll · 17 Jul 2009 at 17:44

I have a 4890 toxic and while runing furmark i get temps at 87-88 degrees,
reading reviews they should be much cooler than this.

What does everybody elses 4890s run at?

Both of mine are usually within 1-2 degrees... 46 idle 65 load are typical.. That said I keep the fan speed at 32-45% depending on what I'm doing

My XFX 4890 runs at around 57-59 degrees idle and around 64-65 load with the fan control set to auto.

are you guys getting 65c load with Furmark?

This thing stress the card very hard, at least more 10c+ than any game

just noticed i hav a sound card directly under my graphics card so there is only a very small gap for the fan to draw in air, could this be the reason for high temps?

Quite probably yes, to prove it stick the sound card in a different slot if you can.

Ive moved the soundcars but had to replace it with my wireless card wh cover 1/4 of the fan still but temps are now at 83 max using furmark.

Still seems quite high

If you're worried just set the fan speeds manually? The highest I saw the auto setting take the fan speed to was 28% which is lower than the minimum setting I have it on manually.. Try it at 35% manual and see if it's too noisy for you via the Catalyst Control Panel > ATI Overdrive

not to worried just thought that these ran a lot cooler than this.
overdrive util said fan was at 45%

I've been looking everywhere for a 4890Toxic in the UK can't find one anywhere,,,,,

XFX XXX version has voltage control using GPU tool from techpowerup, i would reccomend anyone with a 4890 see if they can do voltage control.

Thats news sucks. Was contemplating the vapor x for my new build based on temp and noise and the recent price hike here for the asus gtx 275.

I personally think Toxic runs too hot and the fan is louder than the vapor versions..

Cooling, noise reduction together with performance makes vapor the better choice. I think OcUK use to stock these, they don't anymore :/
