X1900XTX temp question

[[EuR]Fr3nCh_T3rRoR]

I have a X1900XTX and I have my fan running at 50% at all times with Rivatuner and when playing Counter Strike Source at max settings I see my core temp hitting like 69C and my Voltage regulator temp hitting 60C, and my ambient temp is 46C. Are these safe temps or are they too high for this card? This is my first Ati card for awhile and I am not too familiar with them. So are these safe temps for this card? What temps should I worry with?

P.S. Rivatuner also shows my Voltage regulator output to being 1.2V for 2D mode and 1.45 for 3D mode. Are these correct stock voltages?

Thanks for the help...

Please use the search fuction or at least look at the first page of posts before you make another topic

Well I looked at that thread and nobody said anything about the stock voltages and the regulators temperature, I just wanted to make sure everything on mine was running safe...If you don't mind, can you link me to the answers to my question? Sorry again...Just looking for some advice.

I wonder the same thing, when I am gaming my voltage regulators got hot also... is that bad, getts to around 60c.

Those things hitting 60°C is normal, don't worry about it.

My XTX idles at 69 or 70 and gets as 90 under full load.

but isnt hot a rather bad thing?

Bleh, I feel like an idiot. I forgot to take off the slot cover so the slot that the video cards used to exhaust out of the case was blocked....Pretty idiotic. Now it idles at 50 and full load is 70. It's bad, but I think if it were going to be a problem, then they wouldn't have released it with those temps stock. Ive never had overheating problems or artifacts when Im running BF2 at 1280/1024 16xHQAF 8x AD AA max settings. So....*shrug

Last thing, are my voltages fine? I see places saying my 3D voltage should be at 1.42 but Rivatuner shows mine at 1.45. Can anyone check theirs?

Thanks for the help...Appreciate it mate.

 

[HotkeyCC]

Voltage arent constant, there is a small fluctuation in ALL voltages. .03 is nothing to worry about. If it was .1, then maybe youd have something to look into.

LMFAO! You're just plain dirty vicious when it comes to "stress" testin' a gpu, aren't ya?!

People are temperature paranoid IMO. As long as it's below 100, I wouldn't be too worried.

Well put mate...

So my temp problem is solved...Now can anyone with a X1900XTX at stock clocks and stock voltages please run Rivatuner and make sure that there X1900XTX's 2D voltage is read at 1.20 and the 3D voltage is read at 1.45. I would greatly appreciate it mate.

Hey, [EuR]Fr3nCh_T3rRoR

Can you please contact me about the refund for the 7800GTXs. I can't seem to reach you via PM on [H]Forum.

Thanks
