I have a Gigabyte GV-R577UD-1GD Radeon HD 5770 1GB in my Micro ATX case.
my GPU right now is 50 C. When I game it goes from ~80 C-~92 C and sometimes even up to 97 C-98 C.


What are the normal temperature rages? Is this 'dangerous' or 'bad'. If this is not good is there any way to fix or help this problem?

Thank you for your help.

PS: I have CCC 10.5 now. I had more or less the same temp ranges with CCC 10.4.

92'C~98'C are considerably high temps, personally i don't like those temps even your card can stand above 100'C...

The problem is your case is Micro ATX, you probably don't have enough airflow inside your case...

Wow that case has no intake fans?

Get the dremel out and cut some custom fan holes in the bottom of your case, you'd also have to raise the case up so the fans can effectively pull cold air into the case.

Alot of cable management wouldn't hurt....Or a better case.

Just reverted to CCC 10.4 and did about 45 mins of gaming on bad company 2 on 1680 X 1050 Medium (with the cover on) and my temps were 77'C - 91'C. (it peaked at 92/93'c and then went back to 89/91'C)

I have to go now but later I will try some more with the side panel off and report back

Thank you for your help

well now I am weighing the case option... but I'd prefer not to buy a new case but if i have to I'd prefer something not too expensive :)

can a microATX MoBo fit into a regular ATX case? You would recommend an ATX and not some other micro atx case with more fans or something?

This Antec 300 would be a good option, its cheap and offers far superior cooling compared to your current case, and yes you can fit a M-ATX motherboard in this case. I would recommend you buy some more fans aswell.

Well the temps I originally posted were the temps when I played on my highest res, 1680 X 1050 and high settings with the new CCC 10.5 drivers for a WHILE.

after reverting to CCC 10.4 and about 45 mins to an hour of gaming on bad company 2 on 1680 X 1050 and Medium settings (with the cover on) and my temps were 77'C - 91'C. (it peaked at 92/93'c and then went back to 89/91'C)

There is no room under your video card. This is where the slot cooler pushing air out the back might help. At least air would not be static right under the video card.
Other option, not sure which would be better, any mid tower case. You can search newegg mid tower, list by lowest price, choose one with free shipping. You can get one for 30.00 dollars. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811146061

Also to" notty22" amd any one else who can help.


Ok so I am looking at the case options and I just wanted to state that I live in a relatively hot climate with a lot of dust. I am not in the US so I can't order from New Egg :(

I want to make sure that the case option will remedy this problem because it would be a pity to go to the trouble of buying a new case...

I have a Gigabyte G31M-ES2L (rev 2.0) Micro ATX Mobo + Gigabyte ATI Radeon HD 5770

here are some cases that are available to me and their prices in $ USD I am looking to go for the best reasonable solution:


Antec

*Antec Two Hundred: ~$62.50 (comes with two fans)

*Antec Three Hundred: ~ $78.17


CoolMaster

*[strike]Cool Master Elite 341 Black Micro ATX Case : ~$44.30[/strike]

*Edit*

*COOLER MASTER ELITE 335 Mid Tower: ~$45.38

(don't know whats the difference between them and they are the same price)

*COOLER MASTER ELITE 334 Mid Tower: ~$45.38



ThermalTake

*ThermalTake SopranoRS VG7000BWS: ~$67.75

*Thermaltake V3 VL80001W2Z: ~$58.63

*ThermalTake M5: ~$72.70


Ikonik

*Ikonik EN2-TAC ATX Mid Tower: ~$45.60

*Ikonik EN1: ~44.30

*Ikonic Taran A10: ~$ 58.63


Areocool

*AeroCool AeroEngine Plus: ~$75.57 (Comes with two Fans)


Xclio

XClio Propeller: ~$71.66

There are also a bunch more from Compucase and HEC

Thank you for your help.

I think you want to avoid the micro-atx cases, thats what you have. Any case that will accept the atx(they also fit,m-atx) board will have a couple extra inches, for the extra expansion slots. Giving your more room UNDER your video card.

Ok. just tried Some 'Heavy' gaming with the side panel removed... Bad company 2 at 1650 X 1050 res and high settings for about 45 mins to an hour and the temps started out at around 66'C and went up to 76'C (with one spike to 77'C).

now your temps are more "friendly" when the side case is opened... :)
It's the proof that you are lack of room under the video card.
The solution is get a new bigger case for your components and make sure that case has a good airflow...

So I have narrowed it down I guess to three cases, all of which are mid towers (is a mid tower enough for my needs?)

The only differences which I noticed is that the the Cooler Masters have top mounted PSUs and the Antec has a bottom mounted PSU, the Antec has a top140mm & rear 120mm fan. While the Cooler Masters have rear 120mm and an optional front 120mm fans:

Antec

*Antec Two Hundred (Mid Tower) : ~$62.50 (comes with two fans)

Cooler Master

*COOLER MASTER ELITE 335 Mid Tower: ~$45.38

OR (don't know whats the difference between them and they are the same price)

*COOLER MASTER ELITE 334 Mid Tower: ~$45.38
