PowerColor ATI Radeon X1800XT 512MB Temps?

[thelostsoul]

Had this card a week now, not overclocked and is with the stock fan fitted.
It is running at 56c on normal load, is this normal, or is this too high?

Cpu and board temps are fine.

Thanks.

Yes, i have checked that thread out and as i read it my temps are high compared with other people. Maybe i didn't make it very clear.
My temp is 56c when i am just using windows and web browsing, but when i am play a game eg:F.E.A.R the temp rises to 85c.
Do you think this is still ok.
I am not doubting what you said, just didn't think i put it very well in the first place.

Thanks.

P.S.
While i am here, just a couple more questions if you don't mind.
I am using the latest Omega drivers, are these the best drivers to use?
How do you turn off Ati Overdrive permanently, every time i untick this option
to stop using it, it automatically resets its self after i have rebooted my system.

Yeah thats normal, mines about 55-57 idle, nothing to worry about.

That's ok still mate,i thinks it's worth reseating the cooler on it with some AS5 though,mine was not seated correctly when it arrived.A lot will also depend on your case cooling,how much airflow do you have ?

As for the overdrive,not quite sure,but if you uninstall & reinstall the CCC that would sort it out I am using the 6.3 cats with the CCC & they are working great for me
