i have just recently bought a new computer..
package - jsptech with 25w side fan.. a fan at the back.. jsp tech 500w real.
the cpu fan is artic cooling 7 pro, and geforce nvidia 9800GTX.
i installed SPEEDFAN software.. and when i open the computer ,speedfan show me about 45' at the graphic card.
and rises until it gets to 60,and that's it ,stopping at 60'.
when i play call of duty for example it rises more something like 70'+-.
is it normal for this kind of card?? or should i add /do something??
thanks!!
;)
 
That's perfectly normal. Cards with single-slot coolers like the 8800GT can reaach 100C. My 8800GT with a Zalman HSF reaches 86C when running the Furmark stress-test.
 
wow thanx man you really calmed me down.. i added today to 2 pakage fans ezcool large, not the stock like it was on mine computer . and nothing changed and then i figured it out that it suppose to work normally at 60'.
 
Slash you need to increase the Fan. Nvidia like ATI keeps the fan spinning really slow till temps get near 80-90C.
 
I don't think that's a problem - I'm sure Nvidia and ATI both did thorough testing to decide the fan speeds. The temperature certainly causes no stability issues. Still, electronics will last longer if it runs cooler, so if you really want to, you can edit the fan-curve to keep full load temps lower. This will increase the noise level, though.
 
i think they can go to like 125c or something before you need to start worrying, they have a pretty high threshold.
 
ok thanx i'll try doing it...
but:) someone can explain to me how??:)
i am not familier with all of the new stuff like that.
and another thing.
from SPEEDFAN - cpufan - about 2000+ rpm
and cpu*2 (two fans) arround 1000 rpm
i should increase those too?
 
Your best bet is probably RivaTuner. You can also directly modify the card's BIOS but that might be a bit risky. Never done it myself as my card doesn't support dynamic fan speeds :(
