ATI Radeon 5770 high CPU temps

[gazbert]

Hi, I have an ATI radeon 5770 and I ran kombustor and gpu-z is reporting 82C with the fan at 80%, with the fan at 50% the temps go into the 100s, also i'm not sure about the 3 readings in GPU-Z and what they correspond to

With the fan set to manual at 50% after running furmark for 5mins

GPU Temp #1 is 90c
GPU Temp #2 is 104c
GPU Temp #3 is 98c


With the fan set to manual at 80% after running furmark for 5 mins

GPU Temp #1 is 68c
GPU Temp #2 is 82c
GPU Temp #3 is 75c

Do you think there's anything wrong with the card? 104c seems insanely high to me.

There's nothing wrong with your card.
Furmark is generally used for stability test for a oc'd gpu.
When i run Furmark i usually run my fan at max to test my oc.
You'll probably never use your gpu like that in real-world gaming enviroments.
Go play your favourite game and check temps with gpu-z.
You probably hit 70 something C max depending on your fan speed and case air-flow.

While it's true that FurMark will stress your card more than any video game, those temps are still pretty high. I had a factory overclocked HD 5870 for a while that would hover at 79C while running FurMark with the default fan settings. It sounds like manually adjusting the fan speeds is causing your temps to soar, but I would say that any fan speed that keeps your temps below ~85C in FurMark would be fine.
