Haha.. this mod looks funny. Why must he put the cardboard for anyway? Isnt the fan should be enough.

damn funny the fan mod

does it work? if it works, i wouldnt mind trying. can save money, it's good thing lah.

hey guys... i just got my 8800GT few weeks back and i am just wondering how do i check the temperature for my GC?

i am currently using a smaller size casing which causes alot of cramp in the mobo part and i would like to know if my GC is at a very hot temp when using so that i could improve the airflow if needed.

so how or what software to use to check the temperature for my gc?

theres ntune and rivatuner

my advice: never use ntune.
I installed ntune with the default driver and got really nasty problem with it.

I can't boot my pc after the Windows logo. It will go blank (check signal cable). Almost 80% of the time got this. other 20% will able to load windows.

I uninstalled ntune and get the 169.xx driver (forgot which version), finally able to rid of the problem.

lol...this is funny....

same... I NEVER Let my Dragon 88GT take of its cloths~

haha

wow ... my gc temp is 70C when i am just normal surfin without any graphics demanding games on....

is this abnormal?

indeed it is.
what software u use to monitor the temp?

riva tuner

hmm.as always try touching the gc heatsinkl. if its warm only, then normal la. mebbe something wrong with the sensor. if hot abit, then i think you need to check if the heatsink is mounted properly.

hmm i feel its warm to slightly hot...

my gc is xfx 8800GT ( overcloacked version)

does that effect the performance??

and the temp has been around 66C most of the time

Nah

If 66c for load is pretty much alright
If 66c for idle is a bit high but then the Geforce 8800GT can withstand heat till 100c so u should do pretty find at that temp. In fact some guys at a review site did try running it at 110c and they will still able to play some games on it.

If you are too worried u could alwiz opt for 3rd Party heatsink for your geforce 8800gt like I did.

he said that 70c when just surfing. for me that one looked dangerous.
jiahuilee, have u tried rivatuner fan speed control?

Is MSI 8800GT OC 512MB 256bit 600/1900 worth to buy for Rm870 ?? Saw this in a catalogue so was wondering wat's the difference with other cards... most 8800 are near Rm1k already

Guys,

Try ATITool 0.27. It works for both ATI and Nvidia cards on Windows XP and Windows Vista 32-bit without any problems. Its an effective temperature monitoring software tool that will reside on the system bar and constant providing temperature readings. It also supports overclocking and other tweaking features on the same software. It works for my 8800GTS so your 8800GT should work also.

Give it a try.

Try to set ur Fan Speed using Rivatuner to 60%

see how's the temp after tat

Yea i agree it is kinda weird when its hot when i am not gaming.. i really wonder how much will it be when i game...

I am trying to learn to use rivertune...

Okay just changed the speed to 60% and now the GC is around 58-59C

is it normal?

hmm...abit higher than normal.
in that case, u shud try improving ur casing's airflow.

That's a pretty decent price for an overclocked Geforce 8800GT.

I got mine when it first came out for RM880, Zotac slightly pre-overclocked one.

If you are going to change the heatsink anyway. Might as well get a Geforce 8800GTS, this is because buying a 3rd party cooler would set u back about RM200 plus.

Cheerio
