Thats why I say they ( nvdiot ) try to kill ur card slowly.

I know that they say the card can withstand 100C no problem.

But heat is not a friend to com component though....It's a killer.Slowly..

My zotac AMP only 51c on 60% fan speed Idle... My pc is at my living room too..no air con, and is case close

Hi guys,just got my PNY 8800gt 1 week ago from bulk order,like the card design so much and most important things it can play all the latest game effortlessly...

btw my gc card temperature with fan speed 60%:

Idle temp - 55 C
Load - 80-85 C

Dude hdwarexpert customer ar haha.Me too.

Working flawless on most games....except crysis lar.

I prefer to go for 80% for more than 60C and 100% for more than 65C. Just to ensure the temp won't go beyond 70C if possible.

Added on December 21, 2007, 12:23 amCouldn't agree more. 100C is boiling point for water. I know that some material that is part of the component does have higher temperature for boiling point but 100C is just way too high for a graphic card to run in my casing. It'll burn my other hardware.

i dl rivia tuner
where the part can set the fan speed?

ya,i like the"sexy" card so much.........
i havent try on crysis yet thou,still finding ahem version lolx. ...........

hi, could anyone with palit 8800gt sonic share their bios? thanks

crysis lor..

Actually I'm worry of the temperature is because my comp crashes easily when i play CoD4 or Crysis. It crashes after playing for awhile. And it is damn annoying to crash (black screen) when you are half way through in the game. The temp was like 90C when i played CoD the other day. hope so that Rivatuner is my solution for now until i get extra fans and coolers.

But, come on man, after buying 8800GT GC, all I get is crashes when playing high end game. Don't tell me we, as consumers, are expected to get extra fans just to cool down our own cards? What's wrong with the manufacturers man. Didn't they do their homework?!?! It's like building a CASTLE with NO KING in it.

Try ur riva tuner first ...

set it to 100% when u play games ... should be ok... u using ASUS TOP?

Yup, I'm already using it now. Have to double the speed from 29% to 60% just to decrease temp from 70 to 62C.
Next solution to get extra fans.

Mm...that is very hot 62c on Idle...
change it to 3rd party wii decrease alot , don't loose confident on 88GT cheers~

sigh. just gettin a lil frus, that's all.

any recommendations for 3rd party coolers below RM100?

go get urself a everest ultimate edition...find out ur gpu ambient temp..i suggest u get a 3rd party cooler too...with those temp ur card wont last long i assume

This is the current status in Rivatuner. anyone to interpret better?

Btw managed to firmware overclock my Zotac 8800 GTS 512 mb to 740/2070/1800 as per the Asus TOP XXX specifications using NvFlash and NiBitor. Was a real pain to do it via Vista and some more using USB keyboard . Managed to dig up a old PS2 keyboard to get my boot disk working. Temps topping up at 84 C stable under load (this is SpeedFan though Everest reported it at 78 C) which is around normal for this card considering Tweaktown's 79 C for the Asus TOP XXX. It idles at 65 C. I tried adding additional ventilation to my casing on to a PCI slot but although I felt the hot air coming out, the temps remained the same. Couldn't stand the damn whine of it so I ditched it.

Anyone can recommend a good 8 cm fan with decent air flow and yet quiet? I currently have my casing's inbuilt two 120 mm ones (one front and one back) and piss ass weak 80 mm fan on the side panel. So no crazy 100 cfm 55 db cyclones please.

Sorry for the double post. didn't see this 'official' thread.

this thread is meant for 8800gt and yours is 8800gts, so your 1st post is at the right thread

Glad to hear you guys like the card so much.

I am doing a 3rd bulk now. Do inform your friemds if they are interested.

u use wut proc?
maybe ur gc do alot of work coz cpu so cikai 1
haha
btw make sure ur case airflow is good...
