I'm the guy cyberfly talked about. Right now I'm using it under air conditioned room.
Temperature:
idle is like 44C and at load ( I minimized Crysis and see ) 46C.
I'll try to look again when the aircond is turned off.

u mean at load? so how do i check?

ok got it. max i got was 61C load.

edit: any differences with other brand?

Room Temperature:
Idle: 43C
Load: 75C Max

Looks like just the same as other.
But thankfully never crashed when playing Crysis like some other ppl who reported to have crashes when playing the game.

wah..ur name iceman u shud have a cool card lor. heheh..
maybe ur casing's air flow is not right?

for me, i use open casing. better.

aiya ur scaring me ler bro..

I cant play crysis at 1440x900 res. prolly coz of the 17" monitor.
really a waste for 88gt..

a bit off topic: anyone know y in crysis setting i got gray selection for very high (can't select)? izit coz of proc? im still using P4 3.2

neeat. shall try it once i got home.

if u would like to overclock somemore, then yes.
the temp is already cool at load so i think you dont have to spend on aftermarket cooler.

well, the problem is i can't even get that resolution due to 17" LCD which only allows 1280x1024 max.
yea the proc bottlenecked the game a bit but i still got playable fps (18-23).
I'm just saying my 88gt is a waste on a 17" LCD.


here's the report.
nope, the graphics are reaaallly different from high setting. from VHQ i can get the wave (ombak) to become much realistic. the car track on the beach, and the sunray is also much prettier. not to mention the shades is much more cantik.
and the best part is...i still get the same fps as HQ setting. eeyahhuuuuuu!!! now after my Q6600 arrive the game will look absolutely wonderful, with higher fps, yes.

coz i cant go higher than 1280x1024 resolution.
im using 4x AA right now, got that fps. gonna wait for my Q6600 for me to max out AA.

play it again?
this time at full difficulty (very hard).

load 93??
there's definitely something wrong with ur gc.. maybe the thermal compound dried up? have u tried changing it first before applying ur S1?

btw, what is the room temp? and try to open the side case.

no way im giving my baby to wear a cardbox..NEVER!!

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.

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

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.

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

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

idle : <45C
load: <65C

that would be considered good enough.
