8800GT heat lock-up problem. Are you having the same problem?

Hi,

I've noticed since I've had my Point of View 8800GT graphics card that during games it locks up frequently. I have to reboot when this happens. I've altered the fan speed from default to 40% using Rivatuner and this seemed to help for a short time but afterwards I still suffer lock-ups. The temperatures here went up to 80C+

I now have my 8800GT running at 60% fan speed and it seems to be fine in all games and I don't experience any lock-ups.

Do other people find they are having the same problem with their 8800GT/What fan speed do you have your's at?

I don't understand your post, are you saying more fan speed equals higher temperatures??

 

[mishima]

I understand now, great. Can you setup this in Rivatuner?

 

[mishima]

I've read your post, do these profiles automatically load when the temperature hits those levels or do you manually load the profiles yourself?

Top man, just going through it now! Thanks

Done I have the following settings:

Fan @ 80% > 80C
Fan @ 60% > 60C
Fan @ 40% default
