So, i know some of you OC'ers here can probably answer this for me. Im lookin for the max temp for the 8800GT. I wanna give mine more juice, but when ever Im done gaming, my GPU is at 77C as far as temp is concerned. what are your thoughts about this?
btw, my card was factory OC'ed by xfx to 640. I had it at 670. it wasnt bad, but really would like to know what my green area is before i get nutty with it.
Please discuss, and tell me what you have found to be over the limit so to speak.
best rule of thumb, EVGA has said there designed to witstand 100C but i wouldn't suggest it
DL RivaTuner i think its like v2.06b or something like that it supports the 8800GT and you can change the fan speed (Its stock at like 28% most people say it dosn't get 2 loud till it hits 50%-60% depending on your own preference on sound.
Just wondering, are you using stock air cooling or liquid?

I have fans set at 60% I idle at 50C and at MAX load I get 60C..never seen it go higher. Also, I don't notice any additional noise since at 60% fan speed is still quicker than my case fans...if i go to about 65% than I can notice it.
Okay. You need to keep temps down. We all do. I am waiting till the HR03 GT releases (preordered) then the OC will commence. Yes, with a QuALiTy 120 fan it will set you back ($US) $80 or so with shipping to US temps in the 50-60 range running test software.
Week or two weeks max. Google it. No better on the market now, buy it. The Dual Orb is nice too, but the TR is better.

I am using the same program with the same settings of the tutorial, and my Video Card under load is around 58C-60C.
thats exactly what im lookin to be at whenever im playing games and such.. and i was wondering if 77C was a bit too hot, cause in the realm of cpu, thats gettin up there. So i guess im good, ill keep it under 90C
thanks for the help
