grapic card temps

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version

   hi, Here are my specs

750i MB
8400 Cpu (stock speed)
2 gig of 1600 ram (stock speed)
2 8800GTS (512mb)  SLI
650watt  Antec PSU
Antec 900 case with optional fan on side.  

So my question is after I play a game for about an hour I look to see my temps (mainly my graphic cards).  I think they are high..... between 65-75 degrees.  Is that normal?  The puter is on the floor with thin carpet, but would that matter?  I have speed fan, but really have no clue on how to config it to work for me.  Ever fan is working and blowing out in the correct way.  top is blowing out, 2 front are blowing in, the side is blowing in and the rear is blowing out.  I know the Antec is small when you put 2 8800gts in it and there isnt much room with all the cabling, but could that really be the problem?  All the fans are on high (set y me with the fan controllers)

Mason,  do you have any suggestions?  

Thanks guys

Brian

	75C is normal.. nothing to worry about until temps get to 90C.

	Yeah those temps are normal as is. Did you overclock them?

	Those temps are fairly normal. Increase your fan speed with Nvidia ntune or rivatuner. By default the driver sets the fan speed to 25% which is really low. I would recommend upping the fan speed to 80% if not 100% while gaming. You will achive much lower temps than that. PS. Rivatuner owns all. But its fairly confusing the first time using it.
