Rivatuner and heat

[aeropars]

Hi guys,

I've been playing with rivatuner and have read a pretty indepth guide on it so i'm quite sure i'm using it correctly.

Obviously overclocking means more heat is produced but when using the inbuilt GPU monitoring facility the temperature doesnt increase at all even when doing an extream overclock. So far I'm using the crysis benchamrk utility and have overclocked to 700/1000 yet the temp only hits a high of 56 degrees which is what the stock clock produced. The benchmark showed ian increase of around 7 fps more than stock but i have no idea if this is good or not.

So really, my question is 'have i done it correctly'?

When you say 56 degrees is that your GPU core temp or ambient or what? According to Riva Tuner my GTX core has hit 84 degrees at stock.

Thats GPU core. Idles at about 40 and rises to 56 when playing Crysis.
