My new PNY 8800GT are currently idling at 59c. Is that consider ok? What is the normal temperature for idle and load? Anyone tried adding a PCI cooler below the 8800GT?Would it significantly cool off the card itself?
IIRC, i saw a 8800GT with a Zalman V1000 cooler at Cycom yesterday. Didnt really asked for the price but it looks kinda cool. This post has been edited by akachester: Jan 6 2008, 07:35 PM |

Not really tested it yet. Still awating a benchmarking program to see the load temperature. Anyway, tested Stalker just now at max setting, 4AA, resolution 1440 * 900 - everything ran smoothly and very satisfied at the price point..

QUOTE(Sony Trinitron @ Jan 5 2008, 07:49 PM) my asus top edition just died.... not even 3 weeks after purchase! the fan stopped working and artifacts were all over the screen, in the end blackout. going to rma it on monday! did u oc it? what is your max temp? hope u can get an exchange soonQUOTE(zamanjaafar @ Jan 5 2008, 10:09 PM) my gigabyte 8800gt turboforce has suspiciously high temps: what is the outcome? any significant improvement with as5?idle : 55-58!!!??? load : max w/ cod4 at 85!!!! i opened the zalman cooler to resit it and replace with as5. Found out that the thermal compound is hardened and sticks to the contact plate of the zalman. So I had to force a bit to separate it. Quite shocked to see the compound is hard already. Its so hard that it comes off in bits and flakes. Think of it like hardened mud on the soles of your boots. Cleaned it with alcohol (quite hard) on the chip and plate and applied as5. Will update the temps later. |

Try to tune the fan speed using RivaTuner to 40-65%, you'll have better temp reading IIRC, i saw a 8800GT with a Zalman V1000 cooler at Cycom yesterday.

I refer to my earlier post
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « After applying as5 and running on open side panel managed to idle around 52 and load (crysis) around avg 70 and max 76. The air flow is really bad in my C5. The case have been divided into 2 heat zones by the card. When I put my hand inside, the area above the card(CPU area) is much cooler than below the GC. This is compounded by the hot intake by my 8cm vantec at the lower front running thru 3 hard disks so there u have it - a hot area. Now im considering to make a 12cm fan hole on my side panel for intake as the lower front fan is ineffective. X2 4000 Brisbane G1 @ 2310mhz, 2 gb Mushkin 667, Biostar TA690G Crysis at 1152x864(17" CRT), all high except post processing and physics are medium, 2 x AA avg at 30-35fps(will do detailed using fraps later) |
