EVGA 8800 GTS 320 MB Temps

[cheapfrag]

Hey all, I have a EVGA 8800 GTS 320 MB video card. It has stock speeds for 513 MHz core and 792 MHz memory.

I have it in an Antec P180B case. Fans are set to LOW.

During idle with fan at stock 60% the Core temps at 66 C. When I run ATI tools to check artifacts for 10 minutes, the temps go up to 86 C and the fan ramps up to about 75%. I have been poking around the forums and that seems high but within limits. Is that the case?

I used RivaTuner to increase the core to 592 MHz and memory to 900 MHz. I set up a scheduler to run the fan at 65%, then to 75% at 75 C, and then 85% at 83 C, and 95 % at 90 C.

When I run ATI Tool "check artifact" for 10 minutes, it get to about 86 C still.

Temperature in room was about 26 C.

Are those temps OK? Should I increase the fan speeds on the video card at lower thresholds (I want as quiet a system as possible). Would increading the case fans to Medium greatly lower the temps?

Thanks!

That's quite high but maybe it's normal.
I have XFX 8800GTS 320MB overclocked 615/1000 MHz, got idle temp 50°C and load 63°C. Fan set at 75% plus an antec cyclone blower : http://www.antec.com/us/productDetails.php?ProdID=77194#

Hello and welcome to the forums mate

Dont test it with ATI tool, test it with a heavy game like Crysis IMO and see what the temps will be however the max temp for 8800 series is 100c so yours are fine

Try cleaning the dust out of your case/heatsinks if you haven't already.

I saw temps of 70C on my 8800GTS 640 before I got my waterblock in the mail. Stock temps saw about 66-68C, OC saw 70-72C.
