hmmm......i just got my gigabyte 8800gt last wed (the one with zalman fan and OC ver)

the idle temp is 50-51c and highest temp i got is 72c when playing HL2.

but when i try to use rivatuner, it seems that my fan is running at 100% all the time and i can't adjust it. Also, there's no ambient temp showing in the HWmonitor in rivatuner. It is suppose to be like this ?

You can have a read on this rivatuner guide, posted by sotong168:

Hopefully it helps. If all fails, get Everest. Straight away can check ambient temp.
Anyway where you got the GC?

hope u will bring more nice product with nice price ...

i got it from sri komputer. i read from hwzone that the zalman edition is very good on the temperature compare to stocks, that's y i bought it.

i already tweak it like how to guide shows, just that the fan can't be tune down at all....full 100% blast at rivatuner

WORLD IN CONFLICT maxxed @ 2560*1600

confirmed big hardware killer after crysis

WiC ia a really demanding game too I'd say. If using max reso and all high settings.

I interested at this card also...duno whether they still hav stock or not...mind to tell how much u get for it?? sure is expensive than 8800gt card with stock fan...

i look for it everywhere. seems like only sri komputer is the only one having it. Got it for rm900. i think it's not really expensive, compare to asus price.

My new Twin Dragons for 2nd rig. Just arrived from Hong Kong today.










These are the 700mhz OC AMP version. It comes with full aluminum cooler, even the fan cover is aluminum for maximum heat dissipation. Not like the stock which comes with plastic fan cover. The fans are also different n even comes with LED.

Best thing is this- Right now, only Zotac is using Samsung 1ns chips which have been tested to be much better than the Qimondas on other brands.










Havent even installed it n I'm slapping on my favorite thermal paste- Arctic Cooling MX2. I'll keep the other card on stock paste n do a comparison of temps once I get them installed into my rig.






Big thanks to my sponsors Zotac Technology HK and E-Devices Technology Sdn Bhd.

Nice, but how come the close up picture on the samsung chips looks like crack marks on the blue board.

Looks more like cloth cleaner left behind fiber after cleaning the stock thermal paste.

It's the fibers from the cotton wool I used to clean off the paste so we can see the markings on the chip. It's funny how it doesnt appear to the naked eye but when u macro shot with a camera every little detail comes out.

zotac made from where? d name like malay company 1 euwww..

malay will sound more like botak lar. This is Zotac. Zotac is a Hong Kong company.

Any solution u use with the cotton wool?
