in gta 4 just now my card was hitting 70C and im kinda concerned about it. Is 70C too hot for a card that has been baked or is it fine to run at normal temps direct from nvidia?

 

[djsi38t]

70 is a good temp for that card,do not worry it will be fine.

 

[ACHILEE5]

I'd say you're fine

70c is fine for a card in full load (gaming/furmark/boinc). i'd worry if it hits 90c tho

in medal of honor i forgot to max the fan and i hit 89C for like 2 minutes before i yanked the plug out of the wall. it still runs fine, do you think i damaged it?

Why is everyone being stupidly conservative? 70c is absolutely fine. 90c is fine. 100c+ is not fine.

You have not damaged it. But pulling the power out like that is a bad idea. especially seems you had no reason too ¬__¬

well when you're as poor as i am you tend to take extra care of your things.

whats ur idle and ambient temp?

also u might want to redo the TIM or get a better one.

 

[ACHILEE5]

From what I just read, 105c is the max temps for the 8800GT

Plus I found this

XFX says that 89C is just an average temp for a G80 8800 card and you shouldnt be bothered to change fan settings with those temps.I dont know whether the same applies to G92 cards.

 

[Cyph3r]

I understand that, but seriously 70c is nowhere near the worry-zone of GPU temps. You're 100% fine upto 105c, i'd start to worry at 100c and try to get the temps down, but youre nowhere near that.

yanking the power out randomly would do more damage than 90c would.

During GTA IV on my old 8800GT, it would hit 95-100C and it still works. I sold the card to one of my best friends and he's still using it.

When your cards have a 95c temp limit, being scared at 90c isn't conservative at all.
But yea, i do agree that GPUs can stand way higher temps, and shouldn't be to worry.

with the fan maxed idle is anywhere from 39C to 47C but average is 47C PCB is usually between 29C-46C. i used arctic silver ceramic(all i have right now)

pulling the plug does damage?

oops forgot to edit last post

"yanked the plug out of the wall" Is extra care? Your fair more likely to damage something by doing that compared to just closing the game and letting it cool on its own.

Anyway 90'c is fine for a 8800GT. Too far past 100 wouldn't be so fine.

I'm sure you could run an 8800GT at 110'c for years without causing damage caused by the heat.

in my defense i didn't know pulling the plug would cause damage.

as a matter of fact i was always told that it wont damage it at all.

The max temp is 105c

Haha, so what you thought wouldn't damage it, is more likely to damage it, and what you thought WOULD damage it, was completely fine. ;P well now you know eh?

Should try and find some mx3-4, shin-etsu

It'll die real soon @ 70C, then you'll have to rebake. You need to keep temps down to avoid solder from cracking up again.

sometimes artifacts do come back if the card gets too hot again......i had this happen mainly on older hot running G80 gpus
