HD5770 Temp/Fan Query/Issue

iTek · 14 Jul 2010 at 20:27

This MSi program looks good, just don't understand gets what's happened to the CCC.

Anyway thanks for the fix, don't think I will be able to get the speeds you are getting on your Sapphire, I take it you have a different revision?

I am perfectly happy with the card just been bugging me to see the temps above 90 degrees and not understanding why CCC as not activated the automatic fan speed.

The link you sent doesn't seem to work, can you describe the cooler?

iTek · 15 Jul 2010 at 08:54

This is the one I have.

Michael_10 · 15 Jul 2010 at 17:20

Yeah that's the same one I have. You should try getting to 950 or 1350, I've known other ones to go higher!

iTek · 15 Jul 2010 at 18:21

You get no artefacts in 3dmark on those clock speeds?

Michael_10 · 15 Jul 2010 at 18:31

Nope! And none after long gaming sessions either

iTek · 15 Jul 2010 at 18:52

what size case and cooling do you use out of interest?

Michael_10 · 15 Jul 2010 at 19:22

I've got a Xigmatek Midgard case, which is classed as a "Midi" case, its got a front and rear fan, and I use an Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 pro rev 2 CPU cooler, nothing special really!

iTek · 15 Jul 2010 at 19:25

haha - same as me.

Strange then how we have seem cards and chassis yet yours is cooler and appears to clock better then mine.

Michael_10 · 15 Jul 2010 at 19:27

Overclocking I think is different with each card, but the temperatures should be the same. I'm running catalyst 10.4 if that makes any difference

iTek · 15 Jul 2010 at 19:52

Yea well i am too, as mentioned earlier in the thread, my ambient must be up on yours.

Jayster · 15 Jul 2010 at 20:00

Good luck on the overclocking you should easily be able to reach 950/1400 with fairly reasonable temps.

Michael_10 · 15 Jul 2010 at 21:14

That must be why, my computer chase is next to a window that is always open, so I suppose that helps to keep the temperature down

Michael_10 · 15 Jul 2010 at 21:14

And I've never been able to reach 1400, I always get artifacts

iTek · 15 Jul 2010 at 21:40

Ive had the side of the case of today just listening to fan and making sure its been working ok and it was fine so happy with that.

I wont get bogged down in the graphics card overclocking because it will be something that plays on my mind (why cant I achieve what others have) but I do feel my ambient temperature is a factor.

Pretty sure I could get the Q6600 to 4Ghz but its just gets a little warm for my liking.

Michael_10 · 15 Jul 2010 at 22:29

What temperatures does it reach? I've tried to take the 550 higher but it always crashes during stress testing

iTek · 16 Jul 2010 at 07:12

72 degrees in prime 95.

Michael_10 · 16 Jul 2010 at 08:24

My phenom which is unlocked and overclocked by 300mhz never goes over 50 degrees under load, are you using the stock cooler?

iTek · 16 Jul 2010 at 08:37

No i'm using the H50.

The Q6600 is a hot chip

bare in mind the default clock speed is 2.4Ghz and i'm running it at 3.85Ghz

My last AMD Chip a Phenom II @ 3.5Ghz was indeed a lot cooler and ran under 50 degrees C at full load.

Michael_10 · 16 Jul 2010 at 08:57

Ahhh that might be why! 3.85ghz is a very good overclock indeed!
