leadtek 8800 gtx running too hot ?

hi all,

i just changed fan 50% to fan 100% all the time in rivatuner cause my idle temps was 65 degrés celsius for core and 52 degré celsius for ambiant..is it too high for this graphic card ? i didnt do any game yet, i just installed my computer, new one. stock heatsink, i didnt put any termal past on it...now i have 100% fan cycle on, temp core is 55 degré celsius and 43 ambiant, do you think its too high ? im afraid that will go way more up while playing a videogame any idea ?

In Riva Tuner go to:

Target Adapter - Customise - Graphic Subsystem Diagnostic Report

Make sure that Nvidia VGA Bios Information is ticked then scroll down to it and you will see: Core and ambient thermal thresholds.

These are the limits of the card. Anything less than these, your card is ok.

Thats what my 6800 GS AGP idles and games at, not a problem for my card, but it is now officially (2 generations) old and outdated

BTW, one of my friends has an ATI Radeon X1900 XT and it goes as high as 90 degrees Celcius (and his case has great airflow), and his card has never hiccuped or slowed down once. I guess some cards just take the heat very easily.

7800gs oc 75mhz core clock, memory 100mhz normal temps 23c to 27c all day game play 32c marks shown are the oced speeds

Good to see all the intelligence in this thread has gone out the window

yes but if it where copper it would be much better, im waiting for a good aftermarket for the 8800GTX

hehehe... ;-)

(hey, it's only a an inch or two longer than the x1950xtx)
