Hello, i recently found the temp settings for my vid card... anyways, what are good temps? I'm reading between 70-74C when just idling... Seems a bit excessive. I guess i should load it up and test it aswell...
 
my 7800gt idles at 50c with a zalman vf700 on lowest...peaks at 75c.
 
Mine be all stock.. I'm d/ling 3dmark now to give it a run and see where the temps go. When i was playing oblivion not too long ago sometimes my stuff would freeze up. I wonder if it was due to high temps. But wth, do i have to have an aftermarket cooler on there to work properly...?
 
mine idles at about 55c idle with stock hsf never gets to 80c load. If its causing you problems you need to rma it.
 
mine idles in the 40s with stock hsf and gets around 55s load. something is wrong with your heatsink or its a driver conflict.
 
Well i loaded it up with 3dmark 05 and temps went to 85... i guess good thing i'm planning on getting a new card before too long. I don't know if i want to fool around with trying to fix this heatsink or not... i've had it for several months, so if i try to get newegg to give me a new one they'll probably tell me to screw off. I guess it's lasted this long, it'll last a bit longer.

EDIT: Must be a driver problem after all. I got x64 on here aswell with a dual boot, in there it shows the thing idling at 46C Much better. I'm due for a reformat anyways...
 
Your ambient temperature will make a big difference. During the summer, I idle close to 10 C higher than I do now. My 7600 is in the high 40s with load in the mid 60s.
