MSI 5770 Hawk Temps

[MrMooky]

What are normal operating temps for an MSI 5770 Hawk? Should it always be running sub 60*C? Is in the low 60's bad?

 

[sirkillalot]

sub 60 is good my computer idles at 60

60'C idle or full load?
If that's on full load then that temps are still normal...

Yeah, while playing games it normally stays around 57ish. Only a few times I've seen it creep up to 63*.

On a side note, my 5770 came with two little cord that plug into the top of the card, that split off into two cords each. Looks like a small adaptor of sorts. What are these exactly, as there is no mention of them in any of the manuals that came with the card.

That adapter is provided just in case your PSU is lacking a 6pin PCI-E cable

I think the Hawk as three little 1 pin connection points for voltage checking. Those are little extensions for that. You need a multi meter and know how to operate it, if your going to check 'live' electrical readings.

lol, not that one overclocker. I know what that is for. I was referring to the one notty referenced I think. It came with two of them, and there is a connection point on opposite sides of the top of the gpu. It's a small pin connector that branches off into two round openings. Never seen those before, and I don't intend to mess with live electrical readings ;p. Thanks for the info notty.

So as I stated, only goes over 60* on occasion while playing games. That too hot?

kk, thanks dipankar.
