Hello everybody,
So i was woundering how hot everyones video card gets?

Mine is currently 52-58c but its only this because i used Riva Tuner to set the fan speed to 45% but at its orignally fan speed (which is 27%) ill get some kind of warning that my card gets to hot.

Of course at the moment it if working perfect on 45% fan speed,

Mine gets up to like.. 65-70C with 80% fan speed, stock is 60% and it usually gets 60-70 in winter at stock, but naturally in the summer I have to up it a bit.

320mb 8800GTS is what I am using.

For my new PC I just got with a 8800gt 512 MB, I get around 55C playing Guild Wars at 60% fan speed. But more graphic intense games like Crysis it gets to around 70-75C. On idle, it sits at 48-52C

55c Idle, 70c stressed. I flashed a bios into my 3870 that fixed the fan speeds so that it scales itself like it should. (nomally it would stick at slow even when getting 90c)

30 idle, 40 under load. Installing that DuOrb cooler has really helped

Unless you run a really weak gpu, i find this statement a bit hard to believe. http://www.tweak.dk/tests2.php?id=1604

58C idle, up to 70C load (possibly higher if I play for extended times)
stock fan at 60%

I got my 2 new 8800 GTS 512MB today, will see how they will cope.

Actually no that's not hard to believe. Proper fans and heatsinks can cool your GPU to an unbelievable amount.

On-Topic: I run a 8800GT 512MB with 100% fan speed getting 41C idle and 55C under high stress. But while play Guild Wars I'll usually get around 47-49C.

I have this one: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814150254

The DuOrb doesn't have adjustable fanspeed so it's stuck on 100% all the time, but it's still awfully quiet compared to the stock fan. Also, my airflow in my case is somehow very good, and I have a case cooler right below it and it sucks away the hot air that's being blown from the heatsinks.

Myn are 50° when idle (doesnt happen much ) They are always doing something. I have 2 22" Samsung monitors (one of them always is playing a dvd or tv program, the other one is for GW/Crysis/CoD4) So my temp increases to 95degrees most of the time. (I have 2 8800GTX 768MB DDR3 G-cards) I can get the temp down if i want by connecting my other coolers in my case (4total). The temp in my case is around 80degrees all the time (6HDD, 2G-cards, Tv-card, 1200W power supply). But i'm thinking about taking out 1 G-card and 3HDD and put them in my other pc.

How can you check your temperature of your graphics card? Not overclocking or anything but just curious. I have a geforce 7900 GS right now and it seems to be running fine, only problem is that I had a 7800 GTX or something that burned out for no good reason.

It could be in your videocard settings page ( right mouse click desktop -> nVidia control panel ), if it's not there, I'd recommend downloading GPU-Z. since you said you weren't planning over clocking. If you do, download RivaTuner

Aera I downloaded GPU-Z but I don't see the temperature anywhere.

Thanks, but also my comp freezes if GPU & GW are running at the same time
and... This is all I got

Open up the program and there should be a sensor tab, either that or that program is not working for you. At idle my computer is running around 46 C at 20% fan speed.

I don't have numbers, but in the summer my PC can overheat to the point of shut down in as little as 10 - 30 minutes in GW, unless I open the case and point a box fan at it. Noisy , but effective. It runs fine in the winter.

53-60. I configured the fan so that it is at min (25%) at 50 degrees, and max (100%) at 65.

Odd...I guess your videocard doesn't have temperature sensors in there? Although I find that hard to imagine.

Try SpeedFan:

some cards do not have a temperature sensor installed. that's pretty normal for older cards.

That or some programs can't pick up the sensors.

However I do not think that series has sensors, I can't fully remember though.

GPU-Z doesnt show for me either but in speed fan im not sure on which one is which so uh ill list them all on idle if someone could explain AUX to me that would be great.
System: 24c
CPU: -3c
AUX: 119c
HD0: 21c

Wow - -3C on the CPU. Liquid nitrogen?

The 119C on AUX more than makes up for it

(In other words - ignore those readings, they're totally bogus.)

Yeah, that program is not picking up those temps right, those are completely unrealistic. Unless you have liquid nitrogen and hot lava in there at the same time.

Not much point. If GPU-z and Speedfan don't read it, it's likely nothing will.

If you're not having problems, don't worry about it. If you are, get a new GPU and you can worry about your temps along with the rest of us

8800GT 512 MB.

43 C idle.
57 C highest I've seen under stress.
Good airflow and heatsinks are really important, unless I was living in a really hot climate I wouldn't go for anything that was temping over 70 C. Even if the card can technically take that and more it makes me a little edgy.

Now, just last week I was using a 6800 which had lost 1 fan and the other fan had about 30% of it broken off. I had to underclock it by about 15% and it still went up to about 70 C. Got rid of that thing as soon as the 8800GT finally got in .

speedfan is bullshit...its saying my cores are at -2 C lol..but at least my nemesis elite comes with fan control and temp monitor..so it says Cpu:28C Sys:28c 2xHard Drives 30C

Gpu:8800Gtx 768mb Overclocked: 56C
