Thread Starter 
What are the temps that everyone is getting with their 7800? Mine seem kind of high and I am going to contact dell about this. Also my DVD Writer drive is model TS-L532B. What drive is this and is it decent.

Thanks.....

I find it odd that you didn't even post your temperatures... idle and load plzkthxnubbye.

that would be because I was asking for some other peoples current temps.....but to let you know the gpu threshold is factory set to 115c my gpu goes anywhere from 50-60 idle up to 90 load.

Eden , you must have got a real good one. Mine idles around 45 and goes up to approx 75 after some gaming.. Hmmm.. guess i will take mine apart agian to check out the contact and add some Artic Silver..

What program are you using to monitor your temps ? I am using i9kfan I found here in the forums.

Make sure you use the temperature reading from the drivers and compare it to the one you get with whatever program you're using because if it's not configured right or if it's made for a different card or system it will give incorrect temperatures. This is probably what's happening with eden as those temps sound a little too low to be true.

ok i'm not sure if mine is good, but the temp always stayed below others even before I upgraded to 7800, I'm using i8kfan to monitor both the CPU and GPU, right now the CPU is at 33 and GPU at 39, guess i was wrong about never gone over 38. I do notice my temps are quite a bit lower than others, but i wondering if it's due to the cold university residence, i'm freezing here, my hands and feet are cold, freaking university is trying to cut their heating budget or something

In the NVIDIA driver optoins there should be one called temperature settings that should show your current temp.

If not you may need to use coolbits or nvidia's mobile drivers or laptopvideo2go.com's drivers. Or use NVtweak to enable that pane.

Yeah mine is way too hot i think.........it actually shut my system down from being too hot. I am now idling at 60c and when playing a game it goes to 90+c. I am getting a replacement Thursday.

Ok, I couldn't find it with the dell 78.30 driver, i'll give a try with NVtweak tomorrow, which program is the easist, or which one doesn't involv reinstalling the driver? I also have centrino hardware control, it gives identical temp for my cpu, which never goes over 38 except starting up. i don't know if that says something

nvtweak will do it without reinstalling the drivers, so will coolbits

Eden,
My room is pretty cold here too but even at that, the lowest temperature I'm getting while using is CPU=23 and GPU=44 (2.0 p-m and 6800 Ultra)...I'm finding it hard to believe that temperature only differentiates 15 degrees on your GPU from idle to gaming...

Its hot here in my room~80-88 farenheit.
After installing the new Intel chipset driver from Dell dl's my cpu is idleing higher from 33 to 36c with minimal mangement profile in RMclock, on max the cpu idles around 40c.
As for the GPU, its idleing at 50c and the hottest temps I get is 88c with auto oc on, I started to get artifacts in FEAR demo and my system locked up playing Need for speed MW...so I turned auto oc off. I still get temps in the low 80's with stock speeds after some intense gaming.
I would appreciate it if someone could help me with overclocking, flashing, ect, just pm me.

I am so sorry, the correct GPU idle temp from my driver reading is 50-51C, haven't got chance to check the full load temp, but you guys can relax now, mine isn't any better lol. something went seriously wrong with my i8kfan, any suggestion? i can't figure it out
