Temps for PCI-E 7600 GS

[Belisarius]

Hi,

I'm running Ubuntu Hardy and have a 7600GS with passive cooling in my rig (see sig).

Idle temps are around 43C and after running glxgears for a while (10mins) it hits 60C. I assume these temps are OK?

It went up slightly since I had to put a sound card in the adjacent slot next to the heatsink.

Cheers

It's not really getting pushed but as the PC lives in the attic and the sun's been out once or twice recently I was concerned it would warm up as the room does. I'm also planning on getting another of these in a while along with a new mobo and Quad and running 4 displays. Just worried that two passive cards and the warm room might be too much.

What's the top temp for these before I should start worrying or upping case fans speeds?

Cheers

Andy

Thanks for the info. It's currently idling at about 51 but it's warmish here today. Not too concerned then. I can always move the sound card and give it a bit more airflow.
