recently bought myself a Galaxy 8600GT 256DDR3, just want to know what's the safe temperature level for it?
currently its temp is around 57c-59c, not notice any lag or freezing yet but hope to cool it down to extend its durability..
it is now using the stock fan, should i change it with better fan? i
f so, which is recommended to get n how much is it cost? also is it easy to D.I.Y?
another thing, right now using iCute PSU only, would i have to get a better PSU to maintain stability or anything?
before this my rig only been using 7300GT, so didnt care much about power requirements...
u can change to 3rd party cooler for ur gc, and 57-59c r normal, mine is 58c at idle, i DIY a fan to blow my gc's heatsink under it, not much effect on temperature but it take shorter time to cool down temperature from load to idle, means from 70c > 58c need shorter time.currently its temp is around 57c-59c, not notice any lag or freezing yet but hope to cool it down to extend its durability..

What is ur size ofcasing? too small casing will make ur GC hot hot hot
not really, depends on how u take care ur casing and how u adjust/add the fan and so on...QUOTE(RegentCid @ Jan 7 2008, 12:15 PM)
your Gc no problem le...ur PSu also good....all 8 series GC idle temp are high 50C above Load sure 70 above......my 8800gts idle is 65 load is 82C
not really, if stock heatsink they maybe it will, if 3rd party cooler then it wont
