Hey

My PC lately is GETTING really hot. I have opened it up and cleaned the dust I could find. What I am worried about though are the temperature readings. Should I remove the fan from the graphic card and clean it? I am kind of scared to do that one, is it HARD? How can I make sure the fan is working good enough? It does spin, no wierd noises either. Or is 60 DEGREES celcius okay for my NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT?



[recovering disk space - old attachment deleted by admin]don't know the specs for a 8800GT compared to my 9800GT but mine idles at 74(c) usually. Usually get's to about 90 degrees under load.

your CPU TEMPS are lower then mine as well. (mine idles around 60 or so, usually only getting to maybe 70 degrees under load)

I have an earlier 8800GT that they pushed out just in time for the holiday season '07. It came with a wonderfully LOUD, undersized fan.
Don't worry about yours, that p.o.s. runs incredibly hot. Don't be surprised if you hit 100C under heavy load.

The 8800GT and 9800GT are/were the same thing, the later just generally came with better cooling and power usage.Just to add to the above two posts - 60C for an 8800GT at idle isn't bad, depending of coruse on your general airflow and ambient temperatures.
My 8800GT used to idle mid-40s, load at mid-60s - with an aftermarket cooler, it idled in the low 30s and load was high 50s.Oh, I see, thanks guysMy 8800GT temps are identical to BC's listed above...
