Is this Normal?

[XeNoN89]

My temps seem realy high on my Sapphire X1950Pro 512MB (AGP), are these normal?

Fan is on 100% and it still goes that high

 

[kkthxbye]

95c is way to hot for my liking and would get the heatsink re-sat with some AS5, if that doesnt work Im not sure what else to try, maybe ** cable management or add some more case fans

Isn't the threshold like 120c?

Should be fine, doesn't that 100% stress the GPU though?

Try checking the temp while playing a game, alt+tab to ATI Tool after half hour or so of gaming.

ati tool does a 100% gpu stress so those sort of temps you won;t see in game. 88c is not too bad. you sould probably reseat the cooler to make it run cooler.

Just thought i would mention this from the ATItool v0.26 website
"All NVIDIA and ATI cards except for Radeon X1950 Pro are supported in this release."

Just wondering if its reporting wrong temps?

download the new version, i think its 0.27

download the new version, i think its 0.27

I Just downloaded it now, mearly to check out the temps on my card and stuff, and on the official website 0.26 is listed as the most recent and stable. even tough it was Dec 2006 when it was compiled.. lazy people lol

EDIT:

ok take it back, the site i looked at was techpowerup.com, there are a few others with 0.27b1 which may give you better results

any diff in temps? could use ccc to check temps

 

[IceShock]

try AMD gpu tool, works good for monitoring temps 100% exact, even measures by .050 thats how precise it is

You could run Rivatuner and set the Recording of your TEMP, when your running 3D apps or games, once you close the 3D app or games you then grab the timeline and drag it back to start of Recording and move it slowly with mouse to the right looking at the temps all along (looks like a heart monitor in hosptial type zig zag line, you will see the max your GPU reached at anytime.
