GTX260 Core 216 Temp/Profile. I been monitoring the temperature of my gtx260 lately and noticed it hits 72 degrees while playing CoD4, CS:S or any game really. Idles at 45ish. I'm pretty sure that these are acceptable temps but I figure I'll be change the fan...

of arctic silver 5 in the center...about a pea sized ball in the center. Any suggestions on what is the most likely cause for the high temps. I figure it's either the way the heatsink is set, the quality of the heatsink itself, a cpu manufacturer defect,...

like its a good cooler and for a low price. Eh... you cant really test them on load because the drivers will crash once they get to 110c [:jaydeejohn:4] You got cooling issues. Culd be the case, bad ambient temps Figure out what your case...

asus mobo, xfx geforce 8800gt, 650w psu, windows vista 32b. I haven't ran a memtest yet. My core temps at top performance can vary from 52-55. I think that's a bit hot right? I haven't been able to get a read on my GPU temp and I figured with my geforce...

today. It is much cooler out today. Still runs at 86+ during play. Did not hit 90 . If normal then ok with me. Or abnormal would just as soon as swap it out. Anyone else have personal temp. figures to compare? Thanks again I use a 7900GS OC, reason being...

yellow icon in my device manager waiting for me. Reinstalling the drivers fixes it temporarily, but every few days it disappears and I reinstall the drivers. I've noticed in Asus Probe my voltages spike up or down, but so do my temps, so I figured it was just...

though, having heard horror stories of these falling off - not so much of an issue though in a BTX case of course, where gravity is on your side. (All temp. figures from RivaTuner, btw.) taking a stab in teh dark here with mr unknown above this post...

the 4 little pads on the corners? And on top of this, am I supposed to put some on the hsf as well? I'm curious about this because I bought a good hsf and it still didn't lower my cpu temps. So I figured that maybe i put the paste on wrong, but i'm not sure.....

sticking two 5870s instead of the 5850s. The PSU questions have been answered but what I'm still a little concerned about is keeping the NB/SB cool in this build. Still trying to find someone who can provide me with some temp figures (preferably in celcius)...

his claim of increased power requirements, but his measurement does not focus on the processor alone. Hence, he cannot support any claim that a whitepaper is lieing. According to his figures the Intel system's power usage went up by 56.2 watts from its...
