7850 high temps?

[70th]

Hi, under max load and stock my temps seem to be around 80 - 85c, Idle they are around 50c, is this normal?

Thanks

What 7850 card have you got? I have the Sapphire non-oc card and I get between 26c-30c on idle and a max of 62c when playing games such as Skyrim.

Those temperatures do seem a bit high to me. Try to download MSI Afterburner and you can change the default fan speed.

It may be down to my case which is a zalman z11 plus, although I do have 7 fans in it

Could be, 50c at idle is not that bad but 80-85c at load seems bad. How's your cable management skills? This really does help with the airflow.

Non existent, may have to sort the cables out then.

No worries

I routed almost all of the cables behind the motherboard and its now about 10c cooler.
