evga 8800gts 320 running temps

here is the question,
my new video cards a working great,but the temperture seems high.
i was told there good.were do you find the running temps of the 8800gts 320.
im running idle at gpu1-66c
gpu2-62c
in game play gpu1-70c
gpu2-66c
i was told the threshold limit is 80c is this normal and yes i,ve looked on nvidia site for temp specs cant find anywere does any one know a site that will have the temp specs of my video card

It looks like they are running an open bench system, so temps will not be close to what you get in a closed computer case. But sure, like in your link, he can boost RPM if he wants lower temps.

OP, I have the same card as you, Yours seem a little higher than mine, but not sure exact temps off hand. Next time I game, I'll check them out and let you know.

Those temps are normal, not to worry. That card is a beast, and it runs fairly hot.....nowhere near the X1900's though, those heat up a room!


Temps are fine, you're good.

I think that is being fixed in the next version of Ntune. In the meantime, I *think* you need to use ATI Tool to control the fan speeds.

well found the site ,no gpu fan controler

i downloaded rivatuner,nvtweak.n-tune.I can not adjust my gpu fan

If you're using ntune/nvidia ctrl panel to adjust, it's a bit flakey.
For me it always takes 2x or more tries, the 1st attempt does nothing and the second or third usually takes it up to 99%.

My temps are ~55c idle, ~64c max when the fan is max speed.
