Did another thing and the temps are lower!

Hello all hope u are all fine
Well i used to OC and adjust the fan speed with a guide in GURU3D.COM i used this method alot but when i got RIVATUNER 2.08 today (to replace the 2.06 versionn that i had) i couldnt do it because it has some parts that the RIVATUNER that GURU3D used didnt have (GURU3D used RIVATUNER 2.0) so i could adjust the fan speeds well.So i couldnt OC the card any more

When i had RIVATUNER 2.06 with my OCZ 8800GTX @ 612/1080(=8800ULTRA) my idle temp was 59c and the max temp was 77c

Today i googled and found a great article:

now my idle temp remains @ 59c but the max temp never goes more than 72c now

Is it just me or do 59c seem high for an idle temp?

Not really, GPUs run pretty hot compared to CPUs

Yeah, that is pretty normal. My 8600GT that is always OC'd sits at about 50C idle. I would imagine the GTX is inherently a bit hotter than any 8600 series card.

I have two overclocked 8800 GTS 640's and they currently idle at 45 and 48 degrees C. One gets above 67 at load. I have their fans ramped up and in an Antec 900 going full boar. Sounds like a freight train, but I don't mind.

Mine idles in high 50's low 60's dependent on ambient in a P180B with low fans speeds. Its well into the green as far as nvidia are concerned so they think it is no problem.

Nope for every card its different there are also many 8800GTX users who has lower/higher temps than me
