Temp worries!

[Reality Bites]

I've just installed a 6750 onto a gigabyte g33 matx board with 4gb ram and an x1950pro.

i've just had a gaming session for a couple of hours and it's a little warm in the room but the case sides are still off.

because the GPU expells it's air onto the hdd caddy....they are getting very warm, and the ram is getting up to 67'c!

should i worry....or will it be ok?

67c sounds a little toasty but I wouldn't worry about it too much. Ram can run pretty hot quite safely. I just measured temperature of the ram in my mobo and on my GTX, with the side of the case off and a room temperature of approximately 24c they are both about 40c. But I only have 2x1gig of ram.

Does your ram come down in temperature? Can you improve case air flow any?

the ram sits at 50'c idle.....with the case off and a fan on silent against it they come down to 38'c.

there's not much i can do, the issue is the GPU blowing into the case.

i've 5volt modded the 3 fans to silence them, i may have to have them on a controller at7v then turn them up when gaming.

the cpu on the other hand is great. after a leaving it on over night with the window open it's sat at 16-17'c and that's with a fanless heatsink!
