Axeptable Tmps for HD4650

[shadow187]

Running an HD4650 in my SX2800Slim case.

Yeah, the card sticks out. Woop-dee-doo.

Anyways.

IDLE

After roughly 25 minutes of gaming.

What's a good max temp for this card?

Oh and by the way, I never believed that a GPU could act as a legwarmer.
That is, until I tried it. Hot DAMN that thing is toasty.

I don't think 64C is a problem at all. Not sure what the max is, but thats not over it, not with how hot a lot of the newer GPU's run- lots I've seen crank in the 70's and 80's with no problems.

I'm just a bit wary, as the HD4650 isn't really a gamer card, curious if it can handle the stress. Especially with it being in such close proximity and confinement to my CPU/HDD/RAM.

Its not really a gamer card, but they DO list it in the best cards for the money (even the latest one ( http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/best-graphics-card,2569-2.html ). I imagine it can handle it.

Leg warmer? Some of cards can get damn clost to 100C, the tempature at wich water boils. (Obvisouly not at 100C, the chip frys at 105C)
