Does anyone like heat?

Unknownm — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 03:38:03 GMT

I had this 6200 for a while at my dad's and it's old. It's time to move on and what better way to end it is by magically taking the heatsink off

inno3d GTX 295

shadow85 — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 00:43:51 GMT

I have seen a few gtx 295 cooling threads already, would they still apply to a Inno3d gtx 295?

If not can anyone help me here as my temps are reaching 100 deg lately all of a sudden, was never like that before, cheers.

Need 8800GTS G92 512MB Cooler

myresolution_72 — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 03:19:13 GMT

Hey guys. Just bought a EVGA 8800GTS G92 512MB from the forums and I was using a 9600GSO for my games. The 9600GSO while overclocked idled around 45C and loaded around 55C. This card that I'm using now idles around 52C with the fan at 60% and 80% is loud but I need to have it at 80% while gaming so my temps won't go over 65C.

I would like a new GPU Cooler and I've seen that a lot of people recommend the DuoOrb. I don't want to spend more then $50 on the cooler. Also I've never replaced a GPU Cooler and I was wondering, will I need extra heat sinks for the RAM on the card or does the DuoOrb come with any? Suggestions are welcome! Also a guide to how to change the heatsink/fan.

MCP Temp (need to confirm)

KeithGS — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 01:39:55 GMT

Was wondering if this is too high of a MCP temp..

If so.. I gotta buy more fans..but I don't have any place to put the fans, heh.

Please help me to cool my XFX GTX295

TheBlademaster01 — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 19:42:58 GMT

Alright, it has been a month since I got this card (for 120 euro's :D), and I wonder if anyone could help me cool it down so I can OC a little more.

Right now it idles at 60C 41% fan speed and it loads at 88C :eek: 70% fan speed, this is at sig speeds (680/1466/1300). So I decided to put two 120mm Tacens Aura fans on my card in a line:

Does anyobody suggest a better way to cool my GTX 295?

One problem after another..

KeithGS — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 09:13:31 GMT

okay so I have a new 260 GTX that came in from PNY after rmaing my 8800GTX, seems to be running great...but when I play coD4 after my temps hit around 72~c which I though was normal..but the game would crash.. I have no idea If this is temp related or not.. If I play a game like TF2 it idles around 60~62c which the game doesn't crash..

my question is will games crash if the temperature of a component such as the graphic card gets to hot? and is this the issue (btw the fan is running at 40%?)

shouldn't the fan automatically set itself when temps get hotter or cooler?

275 squeals at full load

ihackamac2 — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 07:01:59 GMT

I have a BFG 275 and my system is overclocked to 3.8 using multiplier and cpu volts 1.2. The thing actually squeals when it is running crysis. It doesnt do it when the system isnt overclocked. It seems to run the same temps either way somewhere in the 70 at full load. Thoughts? Normal?

Who's the guy that put his CPU fan on the back of his GTX?

Can anyone link me to said thread? Thanks!

GTX 275 Fan Issue

plact10 — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 13:38:49 GMT

Hey so I'm having a huge issue with my GTX 275 where whenever it reaches something around 70c, the GPU fan will shut off. This then causes the temperatures to rise about 1 degree a second until the GPU stops working all together.

Idle my GPU sits around 55c which I already think is high. The rig is my sig rig and I think that at the least, my case is a contributing factor to my problem. I have terrible air flow and right now I took the door off and placed a desk fan blowing directly into the case.

What I don't understand is why the GPU fan is shutting off at 70c every time. It works perfectly until I crank up a graphic intensive game (Dragon Age is turning it into a space heater).

Any thoughts, suggestions? Thanks!

Applying OCZ Freeze on GPU?

allenkane — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 16:27:14 GMT

I wanna drop my temps down a little bit, so I'm gonna reapply thermal grease to it. I just got done taking off all the white gunk that they put on it.

So anyway, if anyone has ever used OCZ Freeze thermal compound on their GPUs, how much did you put on? Did you spread it over the GPU or just use the rice method like you do with a CPU? How about the memory chips?

Thanks

XFX 9800GT after market HSF?

adam780930 — Sun, 01 Nov 2009 05:13:23 GMT

My 9800GT's HSF broke....well its not spinning, however I am still able to boot my computer up so I assume its just the fan broke. Without cooling, it is impossible to keep my computer turned on, so rather than getting another new card, I would like to get an after market HSF for it since I really dont have a budget for a new card right now. So which after market fans are available out there for this card? If anyone knows where to get them too that'd be great.

High GTX 285 Temps

Z Naught — Sun, 01 Nov 2009 04:37:19 GMT

I just put my new computer together and have been playing crysis maxed finally and have been getting some pretty high temps with my EVGA GTX 285. The max temperature for the series is 105C on EVGA's website and I have gotten up to 103C once, but usually it sticks around 75-80C ingame. Im wondering if I should maybe get an aftermarket cooler? Or maybe EVGA will release the backplate for the GTX 285 eventually?

Thanks.

GTS 250 3-Way SLI- Temps too high...

Hand_Banana — Sat, 31 Oct 2009 22:47:52 GMT

Hi- I know its been a while since I last posted but I want to know if anyone has had any success with air-cooling a 3-way SLI configuration using GTS 250 video cars. So far, my temps peek at about 80c and I begin to have problems while playing games. My idle temps are at about 40c to 52c(thats with windows on, running other applications- but not playing games.) The only way I can keep playing is if I remove the side panel, which btw has a 120mm Antec fan. I hate having to keep doing that because it makes my rig look so ghetto :-( lol- I have tried switching the fan, but my GPU temps remain the same. I also tried switching all three cards into different slot positons w/ different results. My cards run fine by themselves, and in a 2-way SLI configuration. Any input about this is prolem is greatly appreciated, thanks!

VRAM too hot?

Dark Volker — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 07:20:59 GMT

I've got an EVGA 8800GT SC 512MB GPU with the Arctic Cooling ACCELS1 Rev 2 cooler running passively.

The GPU isn't at 1.1V(voltmod) at the moment. It is overclocked to Core: 700MHz, Shader: 1728MHz, Memory: 1000MHz(2000MHz effective).

The GPU temperature only gets up to about 60�C after about 5 minutes of furmark, but when I touched one of the ramsinks it almost burned me...I didn't leave my finger on it long enough for a burn.

Are the VRAM ICs getting too hot?
