Grafic card temp
 

Hi, how warm can (may) a grafic card get?
My Hercules 9800 xt is showing about 55° with a Zalman ZM80C-HP and ZM-OP1 (on 12V). Is this normal or not?

Greetz,

:ws:

This is quite good actually, graphic cards usually get hotter then cpu's but they can take it too :)

I believe Cranox once said that modern day vidcards can go up to 80-90° without burning up and without becoming instable.

My GF 4 Ti 4200 is now 58°, roomtemp is 20°. stressed it is 65°. So it's normal, those high temps?

yes; videocards chips, for now, have higher temp limits then your CPU chip

Since I have two new cards; awaken from the dark age of R9000, I fee like telling the temps.:)

ChainTech SA5900XT 488/776 41C and 56C stressed
ATI 9600XT 600/702 33C and 45C stressed

37°C here on the Chaintech FX5900XT, does yours still have stock cooling?

Stock cooling; stock paste everything untouched @23 C room.

Using BFG BIOS.

still got that P4 setup? might have a little duel of the Vidcard OC then? :)

equal mobo/cpu/ram setup, pure GFX & OS tweaks? :)

Yes, still have the P4 2.8C @3.43
IC7/Apacer PC3200 1:1 @245

But, the 9600XT seems to run smoother than the FX5900 when oc'ed.
