8800 GTX temperatures

[deSade]

Hi Guys

I put a rig together yesterday using the BFG 8800 GTX, and when I look at the card temps in nVIDEA Monitor it is reporting around 65 degrees when just browsing.

Is this normal?

Thanks

Yep, thats normal. Average seems to be about 64 idle.

65 idel is perfectly normal. this question has been asked a lot lately

I'm at 61c currently - 79c seems a bit too high, even for these cards.

my gtx that i got yesterday started at first idlign at 71C. but after mdoifying the fan speeds with rivatuner i got ti about 61 idle

Can you tell me how to mod my fan speed with Rivatuner mate. I have took the side off the Antec P180 case and its dropped to 71c now.

Whats this 38rpm aux temp? that seems a bit low for a fan?

Mine is currently idling at 75C with only firefox, thunderbird and mirc open

53C idle here, gets to late 70's under load.

im nhto at hoem so cant give u exact details on hwo to sorry mate. But basically if you click a little arrow thing next to the drop down box where it says what monitor you have running you should be able to click low driver level somethign or summit like that. Then you can click enable fan control. Then click save to make it start with windows like that. And make sure ion the options of rivatuner you have it miimise to control panel on close not close the entire program and make sur ethat ti statrs with windows Sorry if that didnt make any sense im in a mad rush on my lunch break

 

[Jimbo]

Thats tremendous thanks for your help.

yeah apparently my gpu is sitting at 75c right now. tbh i just dont care. the fan isnt sit to kick in till it gets much much hotter. they wouldnt do that if it wasnt safe to do and if it isnt, well... either ship it back to ocuk or bfg and get a shiny new one, im not fussed.

 

[Jimbo]

Damn cant get rivatuner to work in vista x64, it requires a signed driver.

But i did find a good guide... http://home.comcast.net/~boogieman1954/8800 fan speed guide.htm

Damn, just reading this at work, as last night I checked my GTX temps and thought an idle of 60C was pretty damn high! Think i got it pretty low looking at this tho!
