Hi all,

Just wondering what a safe maximum temperature is for a BFG 7800GT GPU (overclocked to 480mhz)? Most of my games seem to peak it at around 55degC, but Oblivion's giving it a good roasting at ~62degC. Just wondering what the safe upward limit would be?

Thanks in advance.
 
What speed is the memory on that ?
I have my 7800GT @ 479mhz/1.1ghz and it hits 75degC on CoD 2 ! GPU's are made for heat though, my Threshold is 115degC.
Even though my card hits 75degC it has never crashed in a game or anything so i would say that your temps are absolutely fine ! :)
 
My memory's clocked at 1160. I basically let the driver software find its own optimum clock and that's what it came up with. Many thanks for the replies, guys. I had a hunch that I still had loads to go before worrying but I just wanted to check. Cheers.
 
No probs :)
i tried the optimum option and it set itself to 1.18ghz/489mhz but after playin css for 2hours it crashed so i set it to 1.1ghz/479mhz and no probs since.
Wish mine kept as cool as urs ! :P lol

Sorry, I forgot to add that I have a Zalman VF700-CU Quiet Copper VGA Cooler fitted to my card. I guess it was worth the extra money. Doesn't half trap the dust though!
