Weather getting warmer here :( Gpu warm

[waveydave79]

Since installing the 6800 xxx edition ive been very pleased with it, however I am not sure what the average temps are meant to be on these.

My house is quite warm itself. Measured 27c in my study. Window was not opening and CH was left on all last night. This is hit my temps pretty bad.

CPU idle 37c
Mobo 45c (This is becuase the sensor is between the 2 sli cards)

GPU 1 - Is about 50c idle and 78 when its running full load.
GPU 2 - 45C and about 60 when its under full load.

The first card always seems to get alittle toasty. Think partly this is becuase of my room temps and also that damm southbridge is between the 2 cards. Personaally I think thats bad design.

just wondering if the warmer temps today has hit anyone else like this

Another reason that this might get a little warmer is that it is recieving a bit of extra heat from the card below as heat rises.

The A8N32's temp sensor is between the SLI cards? Aaah no wonder I get such high temp readings on PC Probe. I just use my fan controller to read temps - more accurate than that mobo.

Yep, can guarentee it's freezing in Scotland. Sytem temp is 22, GPU 1 is 38, GPU 2 is 34, (both overclocked) and CPU is 25 degrees. Only rises slightly when gaming.
