i9kfangui is reporting some really high temps for my stock 6800 Ultra!

80 celcius easy, and it shows that it was running at 95 celcius for a while!

All this, while playing Quake4 or World of Warcraft.

Is this normal!?!?

When I upgraded my 9300 to the 6800u the temps shot up to about 90c/200f when I played BF2:SF.

I thought something was wrong, but from what I read on here it seems to be normal.

Now that I have a 7800GTX it runs about 150f (sorry I didnt check in C) playing BF2:SF.

I thought the 7800 would be way hotter, but it runs as cool as my 6800nu.

I guess the 6800u was just a hot running video card.

my 2 cents...

Dust out the fans if you have had the comp for a while, also the temp of the room your in makes a big difference (In my dorm Ill hit 95C and throttle in DOD source, at home it wont go above 80C)

Ditto...
I blow out the fans on a bi-weekly basis....
also....same here.....doesn't go over 80C

I dont see the problem. If it wasnt for the incard temp protection which prevents the card from running above 95c Then you would have a real problem on your hands. The card is designed ot run at 100c tops so I wouldnt be worried about it.

In$pired · 12-13-2005, 03:28 PM

Good news. For some reason, I was under the impression that it'll artifact past 80 degrees...or will it?

Not at all, to the the card, 80 degrees is merely warm.

WiKDMoNKY · 12-13-2005, 03:53 PM

I believe he meant 80c...

exabytehd · 12-13-2005, 04:01 PM

with oc'ing I got my geforce go 7800 gtx up to 109 C, one thing i like about 7800 vs 6800 is that if the card freezes because of temp the system doesnt lock up, it just has to freeze for 10 seconds or so, sometimes a minute to let the temperature get down, then it work again for me, on my 6800 ultra it would just freeze with too much overclocking and I had to do a hard reboot.

Doesnt it throttle at 95? or 101 if your using the extreme g drivers?

Blahman · 12-13-2005, 08:23 PM

guys the 7800 can handle temps over 100C just fine. Mine tops out at around 103C in NFSMW at 1600x1200 with 4xAA and full HDR / visual treatment. Turning off AA and visual treatment brings it back down to around 75C. It really just depends on how hard you're making it work, but it won't downclock til 115C and you'd have to really have something wrong with the card for it to downclock.

Fidget · 12-13-2005, 10:05 PM

that is still some serious heat

In$pired · 12-13-2005, 10:16 PM

BTW, I did mean 80C, and I was referring to the standard 6800. Still wondering whether you can really hit 95 degrees Celcius (the thermometer in the GPU software reads in Celcius) without any damage to the GPU... And what about long term damage? I can't imagine running a component at double its idle temperature as healthy for it in the long run.

Yeah I know u meant 80C, its perfectly acceptable. And hitting 95C wont hurt anything, that is the point your card will throttle but theres still plenty of space between the point it throttles and the point the card will get damaged.
