8800 GTX temps

[SOAD]

Hello I was a bit concerned about the GTX's heat.

So I downloaded ATI tools and ran the cube doodah!

Temp went up after 2mins to 84 oc.


Is this an acceptable temp for these cards?

im not sure, so I bunged on rivatuner and manually set the fan speed to 100%

the temps are 71oc.


Also when I load up ati tool its making this wierd sort of noise.....:headexplode:

Btw, this is @ stock ;)

576mhz core/ 1800mhz mem

If your card only went up to 84 degrees running the ATi Tool, then thats not too bad. Mine used to go up to 90 degrees before I swapped out the stock heatsink for the Thermalright HR03 Plus.

Actually its pretty normal for the stock heatsink. You can either re-apply the thermal gease (use AS5 on the core, and silicone based on the memory) because mine was applied far too thick from the factory or you can raise the fan speed in 3D mode with Rivatuner.

I personally bought the Thermalright HR03+ and I´m enjoying now 48C idle, and 59C full load tempertures on stock clocks, or 53C idle and 68C at 665/1050. :p

According to Nvidia it's fine, but I doubt most enthusiasts consider 84C fine. I too keep my fan @ 100% to maintain load temps ~72c.

I really can't stand my video card idling higher than my overclocked C2D under load so my waterblock will be here by the end of the week. My CPU temps went up a couple degress when I swapped out my GTS for a GTX. It's like having a furnace sitting just under my CPU. My GTS idled at ~43c and I've never seen the GTX idle below 56c. I had no need to add the GTS to my watercooling loop because the temps were reasonable, but GTX temps aren't.

I am now on a laptop :(

I am shaking all over. I am crying. I am wishing I lived in America so I could shoot myself :(


Retard here decided to take the cooler of his nice shiny GTX and apply AS5.

Could it have been more of a disaster?????

1.Took all screws off.
2. Found the ******* thing wouldnt come off.
3. heated up and it fell of :thumbdwn:
4. Scraped away the pads and stuff.
5. tried to clean the memory etc with vodka.............:o spilled a capful over the card.
6. Really sh****ing myself I started to apply the AS5. Next second there was a noise like a gun. I live in rural ireland, in a rural part, yet at that exact moment a car went past my house and backfired :thumbdwn: :rolleyes:

F****ing muppet here sprayed the AS5 everywhere all over the card.

Muppet was crying bitterly as he reassmebled what is left of his card.

Muppet put the card in pc, hoped for the best, turned on, then realised he had forgotten to put the fan power in....After 10 seconds :o

Retard thought **** it.

[SOAD]

The question is..... should I turn it on again:headexplode:

[SOAD]

I also have taken pictures if anyone wants to gloat and mock.


I have never been this clumsy before......

:rolleyes:

[agentkay]

Sorry to hear that, but when you carefully clean it up you should be good to go. When I cleaned off the old thermal grease it smeared a lot but I took my time (half hour) cleaned it up and didn´t make any problems at all.

[SOAD]

Decided to just turn it on.

I have the power(nana2)


It actually seems to be working.


Idle temps: 54oc
Load Temps 65oc.


Not bad. :D :cool:

Still dont know if it is going to blow up on me lol



now im going to try it at full fan....;)

[agentkay]

Congrats man! These stock coolers are a lot better with the proper amount of AS5 compared to how most come out of the factories. ;)

[SOAD]

tbh im just so relieved.

I was so scared I would break card and loose warrenty.

Still have lost warrenty but at least the card works :o :afro: :rolleyes: ;) :p

[sammy sung]

mine is at 50c idle 66 load/everything standard.

[agentkay]

^^I guess Asus applied the right amount of thermal grease on yours! Congrats. ;)

LOL :D Yea they did but i also have good airflow through my case with 4x120 mm fans,one of them(titan aluframe 79.14 CFM) blows cold air at the cpu heatsink ,33c idle @ 2.8ghz plus a 40mm 5000 rpm fan on the northbridge heatsink 24 c idle.One of the 120 mm fans sucks in cold air and blows it at the gfx card.Tried to cool the heatsources as best i could for a low overall casetemp with a limited budget ,worked pretty well.Both the prior GTX's i had idled at 55 c or less depending on ambient temp.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!


My pc is broken.


:(

The whole case fell on the floor. :o

Im giving up on the bastard.

Has ripped Zalman 9700 cooler out, has ripped my gtx out and the case dosnet look to hot.



**** this

[agentkay]

Wow that is terrible. :( :( :( So sorry. I really hope that most components are not damaged or fully broken. Good luck!!

Jesus you sure have some rotten luck :( What happened ? Did u drop it or something ?

[SOAD]

Okay im up real **** street.

It has damaged the graphics card, and i have just used all the paste up (as5) for putting the cpu back on.


The pc is turning on fine......

idling @ 58oc
full load 80oc


cpu is running @ 23oc. It used to be 15oc :(

[agentkay]

It damaged the graphics card but it still runs? Wow, so you had still some luck. Don´t worry so much about the temperatures, AS5 needs some time to properly break-in and once that is done your temperatures will be lower.

[SOAD]

I hope they will.

Now registering @ 85oc under load..


Mind you the room is incredibly hot...
