Sorry just saw your card.
GTX275.
If you worry about heat, just replace the cooler.

Try replacing the cooler with Artic Cooling Tri-fan, Thermalright Spitfire, Xigmatek BattleAxe and etc.
Those coolers will disburse the heat from your GPU better than your stock cooling. |

QUOTE(alexision @ Jul 30 2010, 04:02 AM) Hi guys, just an update Probably a better idea to just increase the fan speed or just replace the cooler entirely.I've cap my framerate at 80, highest temp reached is only 75c, average around 70c Gameplay speed n everything didnt get affected at all. xD Gonna try to cap at 70 or maybe 60 to see if the temp goes lower^^  |

QUOTE(I<3LYN @ Jul 30 2010, 02:00 PM) the problem is.. starcraft 2 has a bug that causes GPU overuse even there are nothing graphically intensive to process. It's ok to tax the hardware 100% as long as it is cooled properly.pushing the hardware to its limit even there is nothing to do isn't a good idea. QUOTE(aLertz @ Jul 30 2010, 02:59 PM) i wonder does any GPU got fried due to this bug?? Possible to fry your GPU. However, just open the side panel to let some air in for your GPU. well expect a patch soon enough for all da bugs...  Might invite dust as well. QUOTE(buraqdunia @ Jul 30 2010, 05:51 PM) why change? what yr current model? Mine never goes beyond 60c ever.Added on July 30, 2010, 5:54 pm my i know yr gc's highest temp when play SC 2. ? are yr room air conditioned? seem u and me share same gc. and i wander where the hell my SC 2??  i'm still not receiving.  Most of the time it hovers around 40-55c even at full load. |

Also cleaning your PC case will help lower the temperature to some extent.
Dust bunnies trap heats. |

QUOTE(highwind85 @ Jul 31 2010, 11:09 PM) mine ATI HD4650 mobility...shoot up to 90degC even with the fix... From Hardware Q&A, ATI 4 series is notorious for being hot a card (literally). |

QUOTE(aLertz @ Aug 2 2010, 08:44 AM) hmm...mine still ok...although it increase around 10C but never cross 60C so far... 60c is still pretty low anyways.mine is at factory setting...no OC yet so it's quite cool ~ no loud fan noise also... EDIT: 4got to mention i already set the fps cap like stated in earlier post... No need to worry. Generally I find stock cooler fans to be damn noisy. Hence, I always replace my GPU cooler with 3rd party cooler. I am currently using Artic Cooling Tri-fan and it is permanently at 40% fan speed. Furthermore, it never actually hits 60c and it is almost whisper quiet. You can give Artic Cooling dual fans sandwich cooler a try. |
