what are some normal temps for a 9800gx2? i feel that mine is overheating and causing my computer to freeze/bsod. my temps are around 70c and the fan speed is only at like 45%. do i need to raise the fan speed and if i do, how?
 
60-70 is quite normal temps for aircooling.
Rivatuner can adjust fanspeed to desired level if you want the dustbuster to revs up.
 
50-70 is good enough and yea speed up the fan speed cause having it at 70 forever isnt that great around 65 would be best.
 
im not sure how to do it thru riva tuner. could someone please explain how to do it?
 
just got this bsod...

0x00000124 ( 0x0000000000000000, 0xFFFFFA800431b040, 0x00000000B2000040, 0x0000000000000800)

how do i find out what this means?
 
Yup. My GX2 is usually in the low to mid 70's at load with the fan speed at around 35%.

Actually, I would try the new EVGA Precision tool to adjust the fan settings. It is a very easy tool to use and will adjust both fans concurrently. Just type in EVGA Precision into a search engine or go to the EVGA website. It doesn't matter what brand of GX2 you have. It doesn't have to be EVGA. Mine's a BFG.

After I crank up the fan speed to around 60-65% which is barely audible in my rig, the temps stay in the mid to high 60's at load.
 
Ambient temp is going to make a difference too. After gaming, my gx2's were at 80ish but it was also almost 75F in my apt at the time.
 
yep i agree the EVGA precision tool is amazing and apparently works on all cards although i have an evga so i'm not too sure. Mine was running about 70c idle and now i have the fan on constant 80% and it is running about 55c idle
 
For that card 50-70 is decent, and yea try increasing the fan speed to maybe 60% or so.
