Just wondering what everyones temps are whose running the GPU client and on what cards?

So we have (in °C):
8800GT
83
70
60
60 - Accelero S1 passive
54
49 - Accelero S1 active

8800GTS
67
66

8400GS
55

Thats that decided then, I need to get myself a new radiator for my 8800GT 83c realy is unacceptable heh

No that will be just fine mate, they are designed to operate at quite high temps :) My GT could get well over 90 without crashing :)

Besides i think it was the GT that had a fan you needed to manually adjust?

But of course you could take out the card for a few days so i can beat you ;)

49c

BFG 8800 GTS OC 320MB

Nvidia System monitor is reporting
Core 540MHz
Mem 792MHz (I assume that's just reading one way cause it's supposed to be 1600MHz)
Shader 1295MHz

Currently making 3,728 PPD according to FahMon.

Hit 90°C earlier then I turned the fan up to 100% so now it's sounds like a jet engine but holds steady at 69°C.

Down to 65°C now cause I opened the window for a few minutes.
 
i have a 8800gts 512, sits at 60-67 depending on system temp under full load, will be upgrading to a S1 next month. oddly though i removed one of the 5 1/2 bay blanks which reduced the temp from 78 (highest ever and 70- 75 av) to the current temps, also reducing the CPU temp, which really throws the theory or airflow route through the case being important out the window. just means more cat hairs in there now.

That does kinda prove the air flow theroy...

Convection will carry the warm air up towards the top of the case where your PSU, rear fan and top fan will exhaust it but there's no reason it wouldn't also follow natural convection currents as well. Also a lot of people have the GPU exhaust as well.

Here you go oceaness! Completed a work unit folding at 70% last night on asus 8800gt (with large asus heatsink) and never went above 52C. Have been running at 100% for 15 mins and temps have not gone over 54, although i will edit this if temps get much higher.

These temps were recorded using the latest version of the asus software - the only program i can find that will read anything, so who knows how accurate it is!
 
Cool thank's :)

I use Nvidia System monitor because I have N680i chipset.

I find that my temps very slowly increase so you have to leave it running at 100% for a good while to get an accurate reading but 54 seems a pretty good temp to me.

I can only average 66°C with the GPU fan and my 360mm side fan at 100% so the PC is unbelieveably noisey.

Will be purchasing a water cooling loop for CPU and GPU though so soon sort that out :D
 
No problem. My first stop was ntune/system monitor, but it doesnt read anything! I think it must have some sort of proprietary asus sensor or something (i tried measuring temperatures on an older 570 sli board with an old version on ntune with no luck either), but it has been folding at 100% for since before my post and the asus monitor still reads 54... so either its broken or its running cool!
 
I have found the only program that will read the temps of the asus card is the asus smartdoctor software (although i found that the version included with the card didnt, but nothing an update couldnt solve).
