I bought the ATI 5750 from Sapphire about two months ago and I've finally gotten a chance to run some games on it. I've noticed in idle temp it runs at ~47C. However, when it's under a lot of stress, it has hit over 92C. Is this considered normal or do I have a defective card? Is a better idea to get a fan?

Thanks

Middle cases can get a bit cramped.

Make sure you have good cable management. It makes a difference. Zip tie things together away from intakes/exhausts.

Any fans you recommend?

Depending on where you live (ie availability), most fans should do the job. Look for one which is QUIET and has a high flow rate.

ex. I use Coolermaster 90 CFM (red). Silent but effective.

Good luck.

Idle temps are OK. Bit worried about load temps.

Usually cards are rated at 100C but anything above 80C is a little concerning.

How big is your case?

Does it have adequate airflow?

You could try a couple of things:

1. Create a fan profile in CCC. ~50% is OK.
2. Install a 120mm case fan facing your card.

Good luck.

I have a mid sized tower case. It has 3 default fans in the case. I think I will try and figure out how to increase the air flow and if that doesn't work, I'll buy a case fan. Any fans you recommend?
