8800GTS temps

[ascarytiger]

What is a normal temp for an 8800 GTS. I'm overclocking it as we speak, and when I took the core from 513MHz to 525MHz it jumped my temps from 49C to 52C. Id like to go higher, but how far is too far?

Your fine.I only wish my GTS would run that cool. I idle at 65C at stock speeds. These new chips can take a lot of heat and not have it hurt them. keep it under 90C and you should be fine.

Mine idles at 61C now, and that's with a 120mm fan blowing on it! it used to idle in the high 60C's!

Like DeChache said, although I would say under 85C would be better, but these things were made as infernos, they can take the heat. Just sucks that it fills your case up with hot air also!

I de-shrouded mine and twisty tied an 80mm panaflo to the heatsink. It now idles at 44C and full load at 650/975 is 62C.
