Solve : 166 degrees GPU after game? |
|
Answer» So my nvidia 8800 gt was running at 166 farenheit in of it possibly overheating i shut it down is it safe for my GPU to run at this temperature it's obvious you have a heat issue...though not uncommon , is your Tower vented ? Could you place a fan close buy to help ventilate the heat ? I have holes/ vents all over mine ...helps quite a bit I looked up on the internet and I read people are getting around this temp all the time for my GPU for idle 74.66 Celsius is pretty low. my GPU idled at 79 until I repasted the innards; it idles at about 69 but usually goes to 98 degrees (celsius) under load, which often means 2 or 3 hours at about that temp sometimes.so do you think i'm fine BC? also do you think that i'm do for an upgrade or do you think that the 8800gt is still good?

Put it this way, it's better than 118 *C that my OLD ATi Radeon 4800 used to Reach under load, The Dell Mini 10v Has NO internal fans, Whether (beta-testing) running OS-X or Windows... But runs at perfectly normal temps, does get quite a bit hot at times, sometimes when idling, but it still is quite cool. ^_^ Quote from: Wefro_froyas on December 31, 2010, 11:15:50 PM so do you think i'm fine BC? also do you think that i'm do for an upgrade or do you think that the 8800gt is still good? Yeah I'd say so. Can't say as far as the graphics card goes, I usually defer to Calum's expertise when I can, but from what I can gather the 8800gt is pretty similar to the 9800GT (the latter of which is my card). Now, if you're having crashing/freezing issues, that changes the whole story. In my case, originally, playing some (the more GPU intensive, crysis, for example) games for about 30-40 minutes would cause the game to crash. I repasted the card and- the temps dropped, but the problems stayed. I ran furmark, and ran it overnight at "full blast" with no problems, and got a lot of other stuff working stabley, but Crysis refused to run for more then about 40 minutes before it crashed. I reduced a few settings from Ultra High and the problems went away. I eventually managed to isolate the "crash" to having the shadows setting on Ultra High. I turned it to high and haven't had a problem since- at least, not problems I think are related to the graphics card. Anyway: to summarize, your temperatures look exceedingly well to me. your load temp (74~c) is lower then my idle temperature, and the 9800GT and 8800GT I believe use the same GPU, with minor alterations, and I haven't had any problems. In further unrelated anecdotes I had a K6-2 that would often have it's "high temperature alarm" trip; strangely it always occured on the exact same LEVEL of Duke3d . I rebooted and checked the BIOS temp display and the CPU would sometimes register as over 100 Celsius (222f)! More recently I decided to replace the heatsink/fan on that machine as well as upgrade the processor from 350Mhz to 450Mhz and discovered the cause- the thermal pad was basically turned to a caked on layer of dust. I used some of the thermal paste I had as well as the new (LESS dust clogged) heatsink and CPU and it ran nice and cool. Also had my NVidia Geforce 5500FX overheat (in fact, I started a thread here on CH on that very issue back in the day, probably before I had ~100 posts); I originally "solved" the problem by underclocking the card (which was factory Overclocked) to the stock 5500FX setting. I later discovered the reason was because the fan was busted. I managed to pop out the fan component and the placed the similar component from a 6200FX I had bought but never used (in this case the 5500FX won out because it was AGP and the 6200FX was PCI). So, yeah, there's that. before that temp was never an issue, aside from the integrated graphics chipset I accidentally fried on a Pentium machine because I thought the heatsink that was on the graphics chip was mere decoration. Turns out it wasn't.Thanks, I had a dish heater running constantly in that room that night. Do you think that the room temp which was pretty warm could have caused it to get to 166F? I've never had it get this hot playing Dawn of war 2 and i was thinking that this was the reason. I turned on my PC this morning and it was pretty cold in my basement. and my card after about 10 to 20 minutes idled at 124 degrees Fahrenheit. but after I turned on my heater and let the room warm up a bit more I notice the room is back to 142 Fahrenheit.

Quote but after I turned on my heater and let the room warm up a bit more I notice the room is back to 142 Fahrenheit.You said the room is back to 142 Fahrenheit. How can you stand such temperatures? 90 degrees F is the Max that you should be in, why would you be gaming in Satan's DINING room for all you care then??

Quote from: Wefro_froyas on January 01, 2011, 10:45:15 AM the room is back to 142 Fahrenheit. 142 degrees F is 51 degrees in modern (proper) temperature units. The European record in Seville (Spain) was around that. Why are you using these weird old Fahrenheit degrees? They just confuse everybody. In fact, I don't believe the room is that temperature. In fact I don't think I believe in the OP's ability to collect accurate temperature data either.

Salmon, The U.S. still uses Fahrenheit so it isn't "weird" or "old" and doesn't confuse people that live in the U.S..

Secondly, weird,old and confusing everybody?. Wrong again !. overthehill |
