Graphics Card Worry

[kluu]

I posted earlier and it got locked. I don't know why, the guy didn't say anything and just did it. I'm new to the forum so I'm sorry if I did something wrong, but please give me a reason you lock. I don't appreciate you saying nothing and just locking.

Hi all, sorta new to this forum so I'm sorry if I'm posting this in the wrong area.

I need a little help. I've been monitoring the graphs on RivaTuner and things having been looking strange lately.

Ambient Temp, Fan Speed, Fan Duty Cycle and Sensor Supply Voltage.

I've attached a few pictures to show whats going on.

I see these random spikes happening and I have no idea why. I would idle and watch the graphs move and every little bit, I'll see a spike somewhere on the graphs.

Should I be worried? What is causing this? Is the video card starting to die?

So I have Q6600, EVGA Nvidia 8800GT, 6Gigs of G.Skill ram (DDR2 800), ASUS P5K-E Motherboard, OCZ GameXStream 600W Power Supply.

I also just upgraded to Windows Seven.

As long as it doesn't have performance issues, I wouldn't worry. Those could just be Rivatuner glitches. I really doubt your GPU is ever reaching 0c...

Okay thank you ryan for replying. It's just strange because it has only started happening recently. More notably after installing Windows 7. But not quite sure when it started happening after installing 7.

Your previous thread was locked because you bumped it, I told you that when you PM'd me so don't say you didn't know why when you do.

My mistake, it was someone else PM'ing me for exactly the same thing. Either way bumping your thread is what got it closed,

There is a sticky entitled "Read this first" which no-one appears to read first but then claim that they don't know the rules as though that should give them some sort of dispensation and it doesn't.
