safe margin. Is it a really hot day where you are because cooling is greatly affected by ambient temperature. Could there be a problem with your cooling system? It fluctuates a lot with ambient temperature, yes. Thanks for telling me the target temperatures...

and temperature testing. Personally I use this and Prime95v255 on a waterloop that includes the CPU and GPU for maximum temperature testing to ensure a safe overclock. - A very useful temperature tool. If you follow Computronix's post on calibrations...

within your temperature range and leave green, those that are not. That would make it very easy to identify which planets to target for temperature. Currently its half way there and you just click and and roam between them, but why not complete the job.....

a safe temperature? This depends from card to card, and lower is always better. However, what's considered the highest "safe" temperature is 80C. This is of course, load temperature during intense gaming. Remember to use Rivatuner to monitor temperatures....

in the tape wind. At first, I thought this had happened before the baking, but now I realize it is a result of the baking. What can I do to prevent this? Obviously the tape has to be baked. Our current oven does not go below 140 (but the temperature does...

mugen 2 on the i7 920. my first install so i suppose i could have installed the heat sync wrong. but that sounded hot, so i just wanted to know what the target temperature should be on stand-by and load? thanks a bunch.. Just put together my rig and...

far enough. All of this is designed to prevent the CPU from getting damaged by excessive heat. But in terms of a suitable target temperature for a fully loaded processor, the 67.9 is the Intel "thermal solution" design target. ...

or if not what is a EASY way to add a cooling solution of my own? (Hopefully without voiding my warrenty) Thanks in advance. Here's the deal... The TARGET temperature in the BIOS of the 8800 GTS is 78C. Your 8600 GT is probably around there to. Get...
