Hey guys. Me new here

I'm user of Asus 8800 GT TOP. Just wondering is my temperature very ganas ah?

Idle temp - 70 C
Load - 85+ C

I see all of ur temp so low. But mine, I'm worry for that. sigh

hahaha. Sorry if I am in the wrong thread. There are too many threads on 8800 GT ler. The description of the thread says "The Only G92 Card That Matters".

Anyway, my comp in the living room and dont have air cond.

Oh, I just installed Rivatuner. The default fan speed was like 29% on idle. But now my idle 60% liao after doing some tweaking. Nothing wrong tweaking it by two fold right?

Probably my last option is to get third party cooler.

Haha, I know the Idle temp of 70 C is ganas. Stock without extra fan mar. But now I just set up Rivatuner already.
I downclock my GC from 700 to 600 mhz and Fans settings are:
Less than 65C - 60% fan speed.
More than 65C - 80% fan spd
Above 70C - 100% fan spd.

So the Idle now 62-63C lor. What about you guys?
For load temp, haven't get to test that yet.

But by default (which is auto fan speed), why nVidia set their fan speed at 29.8% when idle? that idle temp was like 70C !!!

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.

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.

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

any recommendations for 3rd party coolers below RM100?

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

Ya, same here. Anyone can recommend coolers for 88gt?

hey guys..

I wonder any of you guys reapplied the 8800GT's thermal paste before BUT using back the stock heatsink (not 3rd party cooler).

Any of you guys did it before? I might want to reapply those thermal compound hoping to get "better" temperature.

so anyone can help me on thiS?

i want to try to change the thermal compound. but i duno whether it is worth it or not ler.

u see ah. my idle temp is 55C (67% fan speed) while load 70-75C or even higher (100%). I'm using Asus SmartDoctor to control the temperature at the moment and Rivatuner to monitor the temp.

I want to change to 3rd party cooler, but thinking of the voiding warranty thingy makes it not an option for me.

I google about it and what i found was this : http://www.hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1240142 (the stock compound looks sucky) lol

My 8800 GT TOP is the that looks like this:

(which is also known as the reference version).

Well this is my experience to share with you guys la. Hope so u guys wont be harsh on me - no offense. This is my first time using a so-called high end GC (i know its not the highest of "the high end" YET) since i needed to revamped a new comp. well, I had no prob using the comp until i tried playing hard-core 3d games like Crysis. It hanged so often after playing like 10 or 20 minutes of it. So, i figured out there must be something wrong somewhere. I went to log my temp using the nvidia software bundle. And guess what, i was surprised that my gc could actually boil an egg for me - 90C. and imagine getting a new comp with a so-called TOP edition GC and still hang. Then i switched to rivatuner to increase my fan speed and had the comp for better air flows with cable management. But I still conclude that the stock cooler seriously s*ck like mad wei. I couldn't believe at first that nvidia could build such a stupid dumb fan for its GC.

I've seriously thought about getting a 3rd party cooler. But the warranty thingy seriously bangs my mind out of it.

Lol. For the CPU temp - idle will be like 44C , Load - not sure. But i know that the stock 6000+ HSF is different than the normal ones with heat copper heat pipe(i dont know which is which).

FYI for no misunderstanding or anything, the 90C load of my 88gt is before my first ever cable management on that casing. now my load temp only 75C at max. A HUMONGOUS change in temp. However, still not satisfy with the current temp maar.

AND, my casing now like ORCHESTRA ler. because i fit it SO many fans (excluding CPU and GC) already got like 6 fans. 3x120mm , 1x80mm, vivo card cooler (two fans). LOL. Well, I'm still noob maar, didnt know that fitting so many fans also temp no change. Because this is my first experience. .

really that bad meh at 75C?

Added on February 19, 2008, 2:21 amthe 15C difference is for the load temperature only.

and ya, 6 fans very loud loor. LOL. luckily i still can tahan-i think.

This few days my GC going "keow - keow" already.

Sometimes, the screen suddenly turns purple, it crashes during in-game and recently, the my Asus SmartDoc showing error of my fan at 100% - 1400 only (supposed to be 4000+ while 100%).

Don't tell me my GC is S.O.S.-ing?

maybe he used dual slot 88gt gua. my 88gt top hot like mad 55C idle. LOL.

my S1 idle - 46 c , load - 52 c. and i think still got overheating prob. SOBS! the temp increase 60 c then my pc sure gg already.

i think so mine have to reapply thermal paste properly. maybe it is not properly installed.
