hey guys check this out i have an asus sli32 deluxe 3700 oced to 2607
with a slight voltage bump and it idles at around 80f and 95 to 100f
under load or after fear or bf2
but my video card just a single evga 6800gt runs at 65c at idle
and under load well lets just say it will boil water at sea level
in other words after those games 100 to 102c
now that is spooookey lol

mine gets up to 90c after cod 2

well i dont fell so bad now i never noticed it before
until i added 2 more xms 512s because it took a while to get to the
background to right click and got the nvidia display properties
and check the temps
but is cools down pretty quick though evr since i got the card the <core
slow down temp was default at 135c and i thought ther is no way ill
see it that high unless the fan failed
but i was wrong


so far i still have the record lol
but wait thats not a good thing to bragg about lol

My 7800GTs idle around 35C.

35c huh my problem is to run sli i could pay 250 or more for another 6800
or for the same price about get the 7800 which i hear is almost as good as the 68s in sli
i just happen to buy the 68gt at the wrong time as usual

but even though it runs hot it still works great

u on water?

oh wait what does yours run under load

no just air i have a 120mm fan on the side and it blows air out the front
no floppy drive so its open and i have all the pci brackets pulled out of
the back so alot of air flows out the back to

Probably overpriced, yet stepping up for some. 16X slot only 6.3 gb/sec thruput.Cool to cold is my impression. Above stuff on left of // is new replacement for on right is old :?:Kind of update of junky stuff.yet thats newest I've seen, today.Hardly worth posting about except coming up of specs, May meet todays needs for many.Remeber its basicly 200 series now labeled 300.200 is more less dead ,even for built in.

if worried about temps, slip a vf700 on it (make sure you still have good airflow inside your case)

same if you want to upgrade to 7800gt and don't want "high" temps, which i recommend over a second crap graphics card (hell, you could sell ur current card to sweeten that option even more for you).

details on the first ATI based card to fully support HDMI-H dcp http://www.dailytech.com/article.aspx?newsid=950DCP. This may be not as HOT as you wish, yet it will last into future software copyright wars/software problems. My first post here will be better as price goes down ,simply because todays Graphics cards way outpower mainboard, so spending less can give results todays software/hardware has half stepped up to. While this may not be most powerful, lets face it, theres huge financial burden with sli, while sli in tiself is admission of poor engineering. Maybe this area called "HOT" is something to avoid for while.aS 75% OF MONEY SPENT ON 7900gtx512 OR 1900 xtx 512 IS IN EFFECT, WASTED, BY POOR MAINBOARD SUPPORT,at this time.SignedHYSICIAN THOMAS STEWART VON DRASHEK M.D.

Not to question your integrity, but I would have to see that to believe it... esp in an OC SLI configuration. Unless of course you're using an aftermarket cooling solution- then I can believe it.

Would you mind posting a screeshot?

Maybe it's ironic that there is a separate forum, but shouldn't you post this in the overclocking forum??

this is not over clocked

Wow those are some high numbers for your gc. I know that it take around 115* for the threshold but at temps like that causes some slight decrease in performance as well. Do have plenty cool air running inside your case? Is your case has a good ventilation?

Mine used to go over 65* on full load on BF2. But I made some modification on my side panel and cut two holes to fit a 120mm and 90mm fans for cool air intake and exhaust for my graphics.

It didn't just cool my gc to 55* full load but it also lower the case temps as well as the cpu, chip and ram.

Man it's the first time I heard someones gc go over 100*! I could even feel my room heat up with my gc around 55* let alone over 100*.

I can see going to TOP END stuff may not be your solution, as 7900gtx512 or 1900xtx512 take over 700 watts to reach peak performance. Perhaps your system needs few things your not using turned off, lan or firewire, Clean fan blades, sit near cool source of air, turn off running processes you arn't using on task bar, etc. Maybe X4XX level card(s) or simply realize that pushing present card may not add much performance, as mainboard has to parse info thru its controller, which adds tons o' heat, controllers can heat up more when not used than in use,if signal is still present & paarseing creates that blockage situation. Big heat sink or small heat sinks on surronding controllers may be inexpensive help.Seems less HEAT problem to address than actual card, as you 6600 should be quite good for while, till mainboards get caught up.SignedHYSICIAN THOMAS STEWART VON DRASHEK M.D.

I Have a ATI X800XL that runs 39c at idle and about 64 under load so take the you invidiot brother of mine.LOL
