Well guys, i spent 3 hours gathering this data
XFX Radeon Hd 5830 Temperatures:*C (Degrees Celcius)
Software Used: Argus Monitor
Stock Temps
Battlefield: Bad Company 2 - 65-68*C
Dirt 2 - 65-68*C
Far Cry 2 - 65-68*C
GTA IV - 65-68*C
Just Cause 2 - 65-68*C
Mafia II - 65-68*C
Mirrors Edge - 58-60*C
Red faction: Gureilla - 65-68*C
Stock Clocks
GPU Clock - 800Mhz
Memory clock - 1000Mhz
Overlocked Temps
Battlefield: Bad Company 2 - 68-70*C
Dirt 2 - 70-72*C
Far Cry 2 - 66-68*C
GTA IV - 63-65*C
Just Cause 2 - 70-72*C
Mafia II - 68-70*C
Mirrors Edge - 61-63*C
Red faction: Gureilla - 70-72*C
Overclock Settings
GPU Clock - 900Mhz
Memory clock - 1300Mhz
Im using the latest Catalyst Control Centre as of this date, also an observation is that on tomshardware the 2011 gpu charts dont contain an hd 5830
(i wonder why not) so i had to reffer to the 2010 charts and saw that the normal radeon hd 5830 had a load temp of 78*C while the xfx hd 5830 had a load temp of 75*C.When i run furmark tests on stock settings, my gpu reaches 85/86*C, but when overclocked it reaches 90/91*C (maybe more, since i didnt give it much patience) plus i live in africa. The overclock frequencies are the limit of what my Catalyst software allow and im not comfortable going beyond that. The scariest of all numbers is the one i got from furmark but otherwise im gaming on the highest settings in these games @ resolution of 1280X1024 (My square dell monitor cant do higher). Also to note is how the temps in GTA IV actually decreased when i overclocked.
Anyways questions are, are these temps ok? Do i need to worry? should i remove the overclock? Is My GPU out of the ordinary? Are my temps strange?Please all opinions will be appreciated. Even form tomshardware mods ( i know you guys are watching).
