Video Card it might be defect in the future @ 60C or 70C?
I have Leadtek 9800gx2 videocard is always 66C idle load and 75C load if w/o Precision tool. But I've Precision tool using 100% of fanspeed plus I put 4 pcs of 120mm above and side of my Video Card it improves temperature it improves about 54C idle minimum 49C @ aircon room, if play World In Conflict I played with 60C to 75C load. It will be damage or defective in the next year?|||75c is 167f. That is rather warm, in my opinion. You do, however, have a gx2, so that might explain *some* of that, however, If it were my video card I'd look at an aftermarket cooler for it. I don't think I'd be comfortable with it being that warm for extended periods of time.
Video Card Temperature?
i got the 9600 GT OC and I wonder if more than 130F is normal. If it isn't, what should it be?|||That is perfectly fine. They can get to about 140-150 degrees without problems.
Is 65 Celcius too hot for a video card?
I've been playing civilization IV this week, and the computer will randomly lock up and freeze after playing for awhile. I think it may have something to do with the video card, beacuse the temperature was at least 65 degress Celcius when my computer rebooted.

Before I buy this, do you think the video card overheating is why my game is crashing?|||No it's not hot. normal temparature fluctuates between 65 to 69°C. Check your fans for its operation, may be fan not working, may be your power pack fan not working or your processor may be getting hot. If you know about computer inside, then only try to clean internals and remove processor fan and apply evenly cooling paste on processor (this is available with PC hardware store and it's very cheap). Fix fan back. Remove your graphic card, clean the contacts and fix it back. Why I suggest this because of dust inside the CPU parts restricts the heat dessipation which may cause the processor to get hot. Try this and see if it works. Please if you know inside of the computer then only you try this otherwise take it to some computer shop for servicing.|||try running it with the sides off. if it stops freezing then buy cooler|||Since you are playing an intense video game, you should think about boosting your cooling capability. You might want to look into a liquid cooling system. Even heat pipe cooling system would work also. I recommend getting a magazine that gives advice for gaming type computers Maximum Pc mag. Check it out at www.maximumpc.com|||Ok i'll try to be brief compared to the other answers:
1)No, 65 isn't anything to worry about my x1800 gets around 70-75 occasionally.
2)A computer locking up when you're playing a game could be a bunch of reasons
A)Bad ram (rare, but i've had it happen)
B)Ram timings are too aggressive
C)Video card could be going bad (doubtful, but possible
D)Cpu overheating, power supply has a weak line, I could go on but there's just too many things to say it's just your video card.
If you want to narrow it down before spending some money, get a program like prime 95 to test your cpu and ram. I doubt it's heat, but I don't know your setup.|||could be also due to some driver problems...|||Lets be real here. Your computer will heat up when it is simultaniously running rpograms and burning up that RAM so fast it now is storing on your harddrive.
Games will cause allot. I would reccomend if you have enough space to put another stick of RAM in your computer....DO IT!
The boot up programs you have also should be lessen in your resources because the more programs running while you play games the less resources you have.
I don't know what PC you have or what Windows your running, but as an example if you type in msconfig in the run you will see when you click on start what programs are loading up when you boot up. Some of these can be shut down and give you more resource becasue games eat up the clock guy!!|||sey it again|||OK, the first thing you need to do is to make sure you have the latest DirectX version, latest video card driver and check the game for patches.The average temperature for video card is about 50-60C, some video card can run hotter than that to around 80C, so you're OK there. Freezing and lockups are usually heat related but we can rule out your video card. Check your CPU and the overall temperature inside your pc case, that's where the problem is, in my opinion. You can try cooling your cpu by using a device or you can add more fans to the case. Run your hand outside the case while playing the game for a few hours to see how hot it is. Open your case and use a can of compressed air to blow out all the dust inside also help bring down the temperature.

My Palit GTX 295 video card has abnormal temperature?
My palit gtx 295 seems to have too high temperatures at idle mode. I'm using EVGA precision to monitor temperatures, it shows that my gpu's temperature are as follows.
Idle(desktop doing nothing) - 60-70ºC
Heavy Load(crysis warhead. maxed out. 1680x1050 res. no AA. vsync off) - 100-110ºC
My unit case is already open. and our area temperature is around 20-25ºC. My hardware is also clean and running at stock speeds. Any one who has the same problem as me?|||That's bad. Can you see the gpu fan and if it's working? At those temps, I'd assume that the fan is either stuck, or faulty. Can you hear the fan? the Palit GTX 295 has a really loud fan, so with the case open you should be able to hear it. Get that checked/replaced ASAP. I had a Palit 9600GT years ago that came with a broken fan. They usual use really cheap cooling solutions, so expect factory defects.
If the fan works ok, then I'd suggest you replace the thermal pad/paste with a better one. The one they use is usually awful solid stuff that probably causes overheats instead of preventing them. Buy ceramic-based compounds if you're a beginner since metallic ones may cause short circuits if you're not careful. Good brands are OCZ freeze, Zalman, Arctic Cooling, and Coolermaster. If those are too expensive for you then get a generic brand since anything would be better than the stock compound.
Hmmm.. well there's nothing more we can do without seeing your setup first. Fan positioning and the like, as well as the cooling solution for that card. The fan may also be working, but at suboptimal speeds, or there may be something blocking the pcie exhaust.
Anyway, that card should run at 50 degrees Celsius at idle up to 80 on load. That's pretty much the average. Anything above 90 could reduce the lifespan of the card. You could try underclocking it, if it worries you, or buy better cooling.|||I don't have a GTX 295 but it is hard to believe that it can even run without crashing at that temperature. You should get a computer expert to come over and take a look at that. Plus, I only use brands I've heard of, and I haven't heard of Palit.

Is it possible that my pc restarts because of video card overheating?
Since I installed the latest drivers for my EAH 5670 video-card and had a Blue Screen of Death suggesting a hardware failure, my compure keeps restarting when I use applications that stress the video card like 3D games (BF BC2). At first I thought it was the processor overheating, so I changed the cooler and now that is not a concern anymore, but I noticed that the video card has a very high temperature, quickly raising at aprox 70C and probably more during the game. In the end the PC restarts(and I can anticipate this because the sound of the videocard cooler is like a chopper). In EVEREST Ultimate Edition I noticed that I have another device in the system that has a high temp(75-92C). It is called " Aux" and I don't know what device this is.
Is it possible that the video-card overheating is causing the PC restart.. even if I disabled the " enable overheat protection" feature from the AI manager?
Is it possible for the new software that caused the BSOD to be the cause of a hardware damage?... until then my PC worked just fine.. no temperature issues|||yes, it is possible, or it might because your power supply barely provides enough juice for your system.|||You should have bought a green card not red.

Is it normal for a video card to get very hot?
So I have recently installed the NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GTX into my PC desktop. In case you are wondering, I installed it over an integrated card (so I really didn't have one in the beginning). It's now sitting in the PCI-e 16x port, it's working perfectly fine, I can play 3D games almost at max settings, but it is very hot. Behind my desktop (where all of the cables are hooked up) the VGA cable running from my CRT monitor is connected to a female-VGA-to-male-DVI adapter, and that is plugged into the video card. However, when I touch that spot where the video card is poking out, it is very hot. Not unbearably hot, but just hot. I'm new to video cards, so I don't know if this is normal or not. I'm just a bit worried that it may physically be melting other parts in my PC's motherboard with its temperature... I hope it's normal for video cards to do this. Is it?|||yes its absolutely normal, and good choice on an 8800. thats a great card, but they are like space heaters.
i went from a HD3650 to a 8800 and these nvidia cards are super hot.
as long as their fan is working you cant damage anything so just enjoy your games|||It's normal and can get very hot if you have a high graphics demanding game which is important to have a nice cooling system. My new system has 4 video cards with liquid cooling through out the entire system.|||Yes, that is why the good ones come with a fan.|||yes very normal.|||yes it does that

Is my video card overheating?
Laptop: HP Pavilion dv7-3065dx
Video card: ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4200
Video card temperature: 65 c (148 f)
Long story short, I'm having a strange problem with Medal of Honor Allied Assault and other games I play. For some reason, Medal of Honor Allied Assault (Pretty old game) is causing my laptop to freeze up and its screen to turn black shortly after I start playing.
Company of Heroes, another game I tried, is causing my laptop to turn off!
In a failed attempt to fix the problem, I pretty much tried everything from reinstalling the game to reinstalling my video card driver.I even reinstalled DirectX, but nothing seem to be working.
Any idea what the problem is? Is my video card showing signs of overheating?
Thank you in advance.|||65c is a little warm but that's not too bad really, Have you tried running the games with a laptop cooler or a desktop fan pointed at it?
Moh is a real pain to run in modern computers I had similar problems when I upgraded my pc.
The way I fixed it is to copy the whole MOH directory from a working computer with the game installed over the top of the c:\programfiles\eaa mohaa\ main directory in my new system's MOH install. Sounds stupid but it worked for me.
As far as company of hero's go, see if there are any patches available on the game web site.|||Laptops, are not made for playing games.

Graphic artifacts with new video card?
I recently got a new video card: HIS Radeon X1950 Pro IceQ3 Turbo 512MB/256MB AGP for my computer and i am getting screen artifacts when i am playing 3d games (e.g. little colored dots all over the screen and polygons stretching and tearing...) and the only way to get rid of them is to reboot. I've tried both drivers from the ATI website and hisdigital and it still happens. According to the software tool, the temperature runs pretty low (it usually stays below 50 C), so maybe it isnt an overheating problem? Keeping my case open with a room fan blowing into it seems to reduce the occurance though. Also, my power supply is 350W, a bit lower than recommanded i believe - maybe that is the problem? If so, will underclocking my card help? If so, how?|||i would try a new power supply ... especially if its a generic 350w .. a generic 350w is more like 150w in my opinion ..|||it sounds like you are overclocking your video card (ATI Tools?) Set it back to normal. Not all video cards respond to overclocking techniques. Or under display, reduce your video acceleration slider down just a bit.|||It's 1 of 2 things...
1) Not enough power
2) Bad onboard video memory
I had the exact same problem when I installed my 8800GTS, I installed a new 500W Enermax PSU and it runs perfect now!
BTW - just because a power supply is generic doesn't necessarily mean it's bad! The thing to check is how many amps it has on the 12V rail. 3.3V and 5V were used a LOT more back in the old AMD days and by AGP, 5V and 12V are used by hard drives and optical drives, and video cards use only 12V...
Take the total amount of amperage on the 12V rail(s) say 12V1 = 14A and 12V2 = 14A then you would take 28*12=336W on your 12V rail! So... not all power supplies are built alike and just because it's "generic" doesn't mean it's bad. Just make sure that the one you have or get has a good 12V output!!
Enermax, Antec and OCZ are by far the best power supplies you can buy right now!
Anyways, hope this helps - you might want to try unplugging any additional CD/DVD/Hard Drives and see what happens, otherwise if you install a new PSU and you have the same problems, you know it's the onboard ram - send it back!
Update...
Where does he imply anywhere that he's overclocking the card!?
Artifacting during normal use is caused by not enough power or a bad memory sector - period, nothing else can do it!!

Video Card Temperature?
My Geforce 9800GT runs at 61 degrees Celsius, but when I play a game such as Command & Conquer Red Alert 3, My GPU goes all the way up to 79 degrees Celsius, which was the highest it went before I closed the game. Would this temperature be okay as it is or should i find a solution to make it more cooler?|||make it alot more cooler! would look at either a bigger case with lots of fans! my antec1200 keeps my system nice and cool and is not loud or you can go down the water cooling route!|||I don't know what will happen at that temp. But i do know that cooler is better. I don't think it will blow up or anything at that temp, but it's better for the performance and longevity if it's cooler.|||While cooler is better it's not uncommon for gpu/gfx cards to run at those temps at full load.I've had mine up to 90 C for over an hour without any damage(made a bit of noise though)
AMD/ATI HD 4850.|||i have the same video card, and it has always run hot. i'm not entirely sure why. rumors abound suggesting that the card's temp sensor produces faulty output, suggesting the card is hotter than it actually is, but who knows whether that is true or not.
in any case, i would not be overly concerned about it. if you routinely get into the mid 80s (C), it's probably time to clean the dust out of the heatsink. you can do this by unscrewing the painted aluminum cover plate that sits over the heatsink (and around the fan). the screws are small, so you may need an eyeglass screwdriver to loosen them.
once the heatsink cover is removed, used compressed air to blow out the dust. once you're done, simply screw the heatsink cover back in place.
i hope this helps; good luck!

mine has been known to hit up to 180 and was wondering what tempature overheating can cause damage|||My friend do not worry, when CPU temperature reached more about 80 to 100 degree Centigrade the computer automatically shut down. the safest temperature for a CPU is up to 65 to 75 degree Centigrade. And i think your 180 may be in f Fahrenheit.|||Are you overclocking? If so, your system is unstable. "UnderClock" it a little bit so that your temperature goes down. Don't actually underclock it, just tune your clock down a bit. You should not be getting a "Blue Screen Error." If you are not overclocking, I suggest you get proper cooling. Google it up and figure out what will work with your computer (CPU socket type, case size, etc) I suggest never using stock fans that come with the CPU. Hope this helps :D
Video card temperature?
I recently bought an NVIDIA 8600GT that came factory overclocked to 580MHz GPU and 1.6GHz RAM. It came with an overclocking on screen display that shows the temperature to be around 65*C/149*F when idle. I haven't tried it on gaming yet, but is this too high? What is the max a video card can hit safely? I can change the fan speed, but I dont want to if I don't have to. Thanks!|||most graphics card run at 60-almost 70*c when idling and at about 90-95 when they are under stress, and changing the fan speed usually does not make a big enough difference|||That's fine. Video cards can hit 90C before it really starts to become a problem, they run much hotter than a CPU, but can easily take the extra heat. There's nothing to worry about.
Need a program to monitor the temperature of my cpu, hd, video card, etc.?
I'm using ADS Pyro A/V Link along with Adobe Premiere Elements (version 1.0) to capture analog video (VHS and 8mm tapes) to my HD so I can burn the video to disk. The Pyro Link digitized the analog video and the Adobe software allows me to edit what I capture.
I've been having problems during the video capture process. While I'm capturing video my computer will suddenly reboot after several minutes into the capture process and I lose everything I've captured. I lost 45 minutes of captured video this past Friday.
I was told that this may be caused because my video card may be overheating during the capture process.
Therefore, I'd like to monitor the temperature of my video card, my HD, and my cpu during the capture process to determine if this is causing my computer reboot (and subsequent loss of captured video) problem. Thanks|||Your motherboard may have tools for this but I've not seen HD and video card monitors. I'd open the case and put a portable fan pushing air right into the case which even if it is getting hot normally that should give you a test if heat is the issue.

What temperature range should a video card be in?
I've just downloaded Piriform's Speccy. A software tool that reveals the specs of the PC including some hardware's temperature. Funny thing about the result is, the video card's temperature is initially at 60 degrees Celsius and, after some hours of using it, the temperature is now at 70 degrees Celsius. What's a safe range of temperature should a video card be in? I'm getting worried 'cause the PC I'm using is open most of the time everyday.|||well that is actually the correct temp for your graphic card. so dont worry about it and if you really want to go into it, for your graphic card the lower the temp, the better, it increases performance, etc. but there is one thing stopping you, if your computer is on, heat will increase so dont worry about it. i keep my cpu on 24 hours for a few years already no problems so far im also running at 60-70 C. also try not to go over 70 a great way of decreasing the heat believe it or not, is to open the side and put a regular fan next to it. guarantee that it will decrease a few degrees.|||It depends very much on ambient or room temperature, but hitting 70C even at load sounds pretty nasty. Try feeling the air being blown out of your desktop - is it warm? If it's not, then the heat from your graphics processor is not transferring well to its heatsink or your case is not ventilated well enough.
You might wanna try this if your graphics card is accessible: Open up the case then start your PC, ground yourself well by touching the metal part of your desktop, then lightly touch your GPU heatsink to see if it's cool/warm/hot. You should re-apply thermal compound to your graphics heatsink if it feels too cool.

But, only the games that don't mainly focus on the graphics card itself. With your specs you could do some gaming!
Plus, I believe the 250 is smaller than the 9800gt leaving you with more space in your case.
And! A GTS 250 is about the same as a 9800gtx+ but with more memory and clock rates. The 250 is pretty much the rebranded version of the 9800gtx+. But don't get the 9800gt and the 9800gtx+ confused! 9800gt<9800gtx+

Why is my video card overheating so much?!?
This is ******* ridiculous, my ati radeon 4850 hd is overheating like crazy. It's at like 86-88 degrees celsius idle and when i play games like mass effect, bf 2142, etc. the temperature on my video shoots up to like 100-112 degrees celsius. I know that if a video card runs too hot the computer will off itself which is exactly what happens to me. I have a 120mm fan in the back, an antec vcool card right next to the damn video card, and a 80 mm fan in the front panel taking in air. The 120mm blows it out... So what the hell is going on? It's really getting on my ******* nerves. I apologize for the vulgar language but. my god, why would they sell a computer not meant to handle its own components?! Any advice would be much appreciated.|||Are you positive that your temperature readings are Celsius? I have never seen a card reach 234 degrees Fahrenheit. However, there could be quite a few things causing your problem. I would recommend removing your card from your case completely and thoroughly removing any dust. Be careful and be sure you are grounded before doing this. Otherwise, ATI has wonderful customer service that is more than qualified to walk you through your problem.
Good Luck!|||Hunter lang never said that you said it reached 234° F. he was just making a guess about the maximum temperature. Before bitching about how he didn't read your question and making a complete fool of yourself you should have read his answer more carefully.
|||You suck|||Is the fan actually spinning? If not, replace that heat sink quick.

Video Card Crashing? nVidia 8800 GT?
Hi 2 years ago I built my computer and have had no problems until the last week. I hadn't updated my drivers since March and after my video card crashed (Image turns purplish and pixilated sound begins repeating) trying to play a new video game I decided to update them. After I updated them any other game I wanted to play/movie would crash my video card while before it would be just that one game.
Power is fine, temperature between, 40-50 degrees C
Seated correctly, tryed both VC slots
Downloaded driver sweeper, cleaned all remnents of my old reinstalled new drivers still crashed when playing video games.
Reinstalled windows with a slightly older video driver seemed to work then crashed again. Used driver sweeper and then windows wouldnt boot in safe mode or normally , I was getting a blue screen with:
0xFFFFFFFFC0000005, 0xFFFFF8000985E251, 0xFFFFF98000A05898 in the stop message
The weirdest part about this was some times it would boot up and the video card would crash when I tryed playing a game or movie and othertimes it would keep going to the blue screen.
Currently I reinstalled my OS again, I havent downloaded any sort of updated and it took two restarts to get the system to load (First one crashed to the blue screen)
My Specs are:
Intel Duel Core
nForce 750i SLI FTW
GE Force 8800 GT
4 Gigs of Ram
Windows Vista 64x
I am really lost and anyone who would know more about this topic please help.
Thanks, Chris|||heres a few things you can try,
1. start a game and instead of relying on your temp monitor feel the heatsink to see if its hot.
2. download another copy of vista but recommend 7 from torrents or buy one or ask a friend.
3. uninstall the driver and try a small game see if that works like rollorcoaster tycoon, something like that.
4. RECOMMENCED-Format the drive completely and then install the OS, that usually works if not replay back.

Diamond 5770 video card?
My boyfriend just bought a Diamond ATI 5770 video card. It doesn't appear to have a GPU sensor or Temperature monitoring sensor. He has tried several utilities that monitor this data and they all show that there is no data available or sensor so it can display information. Has anybody else heard of this? Is it supposed to have these sensors? Thanks for your answers.|||Most do have this feature. Sometimes there is a utility on the disc that comes with the card. or you can use GPUZ. To be honest though, that card will run Pretty cool anyway so don't worry about it if you have good case ventilation.|||better you consult to your shop where you buy that one. get an idea from him...............|||Make sure the drivers are installed correctly and your computer recognizes the card.
Download GPUz and go through the tabs

Does ATI Catalyst software tell you what temperature your Graphics Card is?
I just bought an ATI Radeon x1300 XGE by VisionTek. I upgraded from a GeForce 7300 gs which told me the temperature of my card. I am wondering if the Catalyst software for the video card tells you what temerature it is. If you can find an answer please tell me where and how to find the temperature. Thanks!|||No, Not on any that i've run into. I guess that's good news huh? He he|||Learn2Search
For you, What's Your Maintaining temperature for your Video Card?
i have a XFX ati HD 5830 and MSI tells me its at about 34C with 20% fan speed, however when i play graphical intense games it can get up to 90c but the fan speed is only at around 35% never really goes above 50% yet unless i set it manually.|||Idle temperatures don't matter. They just test the fan control algorithm. Only temperatures under load are important.
What is the safe temperature should i keep my graphics card?
My video card is a gt 540m. I just wanna know what temperature is safe and bad for my video card. mine runs at 70'C is it good or bad?|||70 C as a max temperature? No, not bad at all. Start getting concerned if it breaks 90 C|||wow it can go up to 90c huh cool thanks.

What the max safe temperature for a video card?
So that there will be completely no chance to damage and last that it will last as long as it's supposed to.People say that they can go well over 100c, but will it shorten the lifespan of the video card; to be in such high temperature?
I have a NVIDIA Geforce 8400. I've been overclocking it and it seems to max at 85C. I need to know when to stop overclocking accordingly to the temperature. Thanks in advanced.|||It varies, some cards can go higher than others. I'd want it to stay under 80C, although overclocking something with such a weak GPU to begin with wouldn't make much difference. But I suppose an 8400GS costs very little anyway, so there's not much at risk.|||I have that exact card if u have the silent version like me attach a fan to the heat sink and appily some new thermal paste if u got some I managed to push a 100% overclock out of mine now it's running crysis on high graphics I get the odd bit of tear every now and then but not that often and mine only ever runs between 60-70 Neva seen it go above 70 but just stick below 80 if possable|||it depends on the cooling architecture of gpu.8400gs isnt very good at that and i also used to get temperatures of over 80 while playing.but my new card rarely crosses 67-70.

Is my video card running at a good temperature when playing games?
I've got a ATI 5770 video card and i love everything about it. but i get worried if this card is overheating at times because of my case having only 2 fans 1 in the front and 1 in the back but it's a coolermaster case so it has pretty good airflow. when i look at my ATI overdrive settings to see the temperature after playing a game like BC2 for a couple of hours it stays at 57 C and when im not playing a game it's at around 40 C are the temperatures alright?|||Your fine dude. GFX cards start to lose performance at around 80°C-100°C and they usually fail at 110°C.
For a great little card like that, don't be worried if it runs a little hotter then average.
I have a ATI 5570 that idles at 55°C-60°C and stays under 80°C when gaming. It is a low profile card and it barely fits into my Gateway Slim Desktop. It is right up against the roof of my PC so my airflow isn't all that great. I get worried it will break all the time.
You have nothing to worry about compared to some of the problems others and I have.|||i have had problems with my video card before involving a fan and as long as it stays below 60 it should be fine

How can I check the temperature of my video card?
I've got a 8800 GTS 320mb and i'd like to know if there is a software that would let me know the temp of the card.
Thank you|||You can use your graphics driver to check the temp. But first you need to download ntune (link below). Install that then open it up and on the left side it should say monitor temperature levels.|||Check out the pre-made ones (I prefer because they are nicely manufactured, accurate and nice display). You can take something like this and use one of the gages and connect the sensors to your video card (it’s just sliding it between the heat sink) http://www.mwave.com/mwave/viewspec.hmx?scriteria=BA22612&RSKU=BA22612
Do it yourself:
Same as the processor, first you have to slide in two thermal-sensors close to the area where you want the temperature to be measured. Then from here on use a peek processor and an ADC (aka comparator, aka analog to digital converter) to convert the analog readings to digital data and display on an LCD. Here is the schematic if you want to make your own: http://electronicdesign.com/Files/29/4698/Figure_01.gif (costs about $10 to make)
Let me know if you need help programming the peek processor.|||You should use ntune to check the temp, then download RivaTuner to up the fan speed to 100% to cool it down, since that is a G80 card it will run hotter.

L4D problem with video card.?
So...
Source engine games crash my computer. I'd play and the everything freezes, the sound loops, and I'm force to press the restart button on my case.
I checked up with my friend on what's wrong with my computer because it is more than enough to play l4d.
It turns out it was my video card that is the problem.
I have a Nvidia GeForce 7300GT and by paper it should be able to handle l4d and source games with ease. In my case, not at all.
I was wondering what the heck is wrong with my video card? We cleaned it and everything. We also checked the temperature too and it was fine.|||You also want to see how much RAM you have. You'll want 2 gb or more (depending on your operating system also)
Go into your game settings and turn off multicore rendering, and turn shaders, textures, and effects down some (to lighten the load a little) and turn anti aliasing all the way off.
I'd be really anxious about playing L4D with a 7300GT myself. Yeah it'll run it, but it's nowhere near good enough for you to play and enjoy your time playing. I'd really think about upgrading if I were you (and upgrade your RAM also, if you can)

Something about unverified drivers, and kernel something isnt running.|||download speedfan. just google it. this program will tell you the temperature of your video card, cpu, ambient (temp inside your computer case), temperature per core (if you have a multi-core system). very useful to have.
Can high setting ruin my video card?
Hi everyone , I've got 7600GS video card, I ran crysis benchmark and set all the settings to max, I got 6-5 FPS , but my question is ..
can that ruin my video card or my pc either?
I monitored the temperature while it was running and it was about 75 F
my system:
e6500 @ 3 Ghz
7600GS
2gb
600W
win xp - sp3
btw: what should i need to upgrade except of my gpu ( cuz I'm planning to have the 9800gtx+ next month) to make my system a good one for hard core gaming?|||As long as the components in your system are sufficiently cooled, it cannot ruin your processor or video card. Most components have built in thermal protection which will shut them off if they get too hot.
Increasing the settings will just make the video card do more work. Your system might slow down from the extra resources needed but it is highly unlikely that anything will be damaged.|||Most video are design to run at high settings. You need proper cooling though. 75 F is kinda high, You should be ok. Airflow is important for your internal components. Dont let cables block the airflow in your case. Use cable ties to keep your case nice and neat.|||Check the system requirements, of the games you plan to play.

Video card temperature?
Hello, i want to know my video cards temperature but i cant find, im using SPEED fans program and i can only find CPU, system, AUX, HD0, CORE 0 and CORE 1 temperatures. i have radeon 6770 hd 1gb gddr5 im using xp , any suggestions?|||Just download Speccy.exe ... its free|||-5?|||Don't want video cards to get any hotter than 60C or things will end badly for it :P ideal temperature is anywhere up to 50

My video card runs hot???
I just bought a 8800 gs, and for some reason, its running really hot, like 60°C idle, and when I play games, around 80°C, even with the fan 100%. I have a 300w power supply, but most people are running this card at 300w, one guy had the same computer as me, and he even overclocked it with no problems.
What I wanna know is:
Why is my video card running so hot while other people's same video card arent?
Is it because I don't have enough power?
Will a new power supply fix the temperature problems?|||What do you mean when you say yr card is hot but others aren't
From my knowledge 8800s are damn hot
Reaching 90 degrees when on Full Load
But still runs perfectly and very overclockable
It is designed to handle high temperature
If you want lower temperature you may have to buy a custom cooler
Insert from the article below
"the reference cooled 8800 GT already runs insanely hot to 90 degrees C"|||From a technical point of view your card is conducting excessive energy creating the heat issue. Any electrical circuit need to transfer energy freely without impedance. Should impedance occur energy is trapped, creating heat build up.
Look into compatibility issues with your motherboard, mainframe.
As well. make sure your computer system is not isolated in a confined space. Ensure your system has good ventilation. If it is crammed into a little slot at the bottom of a desk unit and back faces a wall. For sure there are going to be heat and ventilation issues over heating your unit. Perhaps add a water cooler system to your unit, if you can afford it.
good luck|||its not the power supply
might have gotten a crappy card before it blows out i would take it to a good shop to ck it out or send it back and get a replacement

Video card overheating?
My computer's video card has been overheating for over a year now. Its only recently i have found a quick fix to that, by installing rivtuner and turning up fan speed. At first it worked wonders, but now it still overheats in games at 70% fan speed power. 100% fan speed doesnt make a difference now.Now im noticing that my video card overheats at lower temperatures, could this be because my video card is fried from before, so it wont live as long?
When my computer is idle, it's temperature is 53-54 degrees.
Under high powered games, it is between 70-77degrees. Before my computer would overheat at 80+, but now it does this about 75 degrees (i get these shooting polygons from buildings and characters.
I know it aint dust, because i regularly clean out my pc.|||if normal cooling doesn't work, it may be because of overclocking. You want to reduce the overclocking on your computer. However, this will probably reduce the performance of games.
Several thoughts:
1. Upgrading is an option. From your description, I would guess that your computer is a few years old now. Upgrading the video card could be an attractive and affordable option, and would improve your game performance.
2. Air flow: it is very important to make sure the air flow is positive. That means you have 3 types of places for air to move through your case: vents (no fans), exhausts (fans blow outwards) and intakes (fans blow in.) If all the fans are blowing in or all of them are blowing out, you are just trapping the air in the case. Make sure at least one fan is blowing in, and one is blowing out, or, that there is at least one vent where hot air can come out. Also, make sure vents are not blocked by a wall or desk, and that hot air has a place to move away from the computer. The worst thing to do is allow the hot air from the computer to be sucked back into the case.
3. Damaged parts: it is quite possible that you did damage the parts previously. In this case, there's really nothing you can do except start replacing parts, even if you did lower the chip tempertature later.|||Video cards in themselves run very hot because of there nature. Another thing to try is make sure it's in a slot with nothing around it leave a slot next to it empty if you can. Other than that the fan is a good thing I wouldn't work the fan to hard though If it's your regular fan to cool the comp off then it may burn out then you have bigger problems than your video card overheating. They also sell a fan that attaches in a PCI slot next to it just to keep the card cool.|||You can add more case fans--I have 3 in my pc. You can buy heat sinks for video cards--try Newegg or Pricewatch.com.

Video Card Temp?
What should a video card's temperature be when running idle to playing a game with intense graphics (ex. FEAR or Splinter Cell 4)? I have an ATI Radeon X1950 Pro 512 MB with IceQ III Cooling system. I'm just curious because when I play those graphics intense games, the card runs fine. But today I was playing Halo and the damn thing froze up twice on me. And now it just occurred to me that I should know how hot the damn thing is running just for my knowledge.|||the normal running temp of a card is about 50-60c on idle so if around there its fine... but he reason your computer maybe freezing is the temp of your CPU... how hot dose it get when playing games? well if the CPU has stock cooling and your playing intense games then you should get a bigger fan for it|||Most likely it is not the CPU, but the RAM that is causing the bottleneck. It is unlikely that throttling of the GPU is the culprit. If you loosen the RAM timings, that may help. My GPU ran fine at 84c before I moved to water cooling.
Question about Video Card (Nvidia GeForce 9400 GT)?
I've owned the video card going on two years now and just this morning I noticed that it was making a humming noise coming from my video card fan. The best way to describe it is that I at first thought it was someone mowing their lawn with a weed wacker outside.
To my dismay it was my computer. I hadn't cleaned it in some time, so I bought some dust-off and unhooked everything including my video card and gave my entire rig a good dusting.
Put the video card back in and I still have the same problem. I lowered the temperature in the room, and I still have the same problem. It stands at 65c on idle, but when I browse it has jumped to 75c which seems odd. The airflow in the computer isn't the greatest, but it's never posed a problem until this morning.
My question is, what steps should I take to fix the problem?|||Vid card chart

Whats a good temperature for a video card?
Its a nvidia 9600gt and on idle its about 40 c but playing a game its 60 c is that good?|||Yes thats fine, luckily the 9600 is a low power/performance card, If you had a decent Chip under that cooler it would fry, 8800GT for example run at over 90 in some cases.
Anything up to 70 is fine but try never to go over 70.
The threshold for most graphics cards is about 120 but it can't run over 100 without seriously shortening its life|||yea
8800GT 4 life. lol =P|||60 c is about 135 f so it should be fine.|||thats fine.

it performs similar too the 460 however your running nvidea so look for temps about 10 - 20 degrees above these.
this is simply because nvidea architecture although can perform better at higher resolutions isnt really built with power in mind. and as a general rule, more power means more heat.

Is my video card temperature too high?
I have an Nvidia 8800gt and its at 61Celsius ( or 140 fahrenheit ) at idle
My intel core 2 duo processor is at 40c ( 104f ) at idle
I have heard it is recommended that neither go beyond 50c, which my processor seems to be following but my video card is not. I heard that at too high temperature could reduce the lifespan of hardware. I have two case fans in my PC but it doesn't seems to help my gpu, its at a constant 61c. Also I use my PC for gaming, which causes my gpu to rise considerably higher into the mid 70c, never beyond 75c. I would like to know if it is still fine to play under this kind of heat? I read around some forums and it said as long as its below 80c its fine? I just wanted to ask and get some questions directly and get a second opinion from someone.|||Nah that is fine, only when cards reach about 120C is there something to worry about, mine idles at about 70, and it works fine.|||OK average number, you should see today's GeForce temperature...
The lifespan argument is somewhat hogwash but as long as things don't blown up the house in fire....

Upgrade to GeForce 8800 GTX Video Card on HP Pavilion Elite m9250f?
So ive got quite a few questions.
I realize that if i upgrades my HP Pavilion Elite m9250f to
EVGA GeForce 8800 GTX Video Card the computer temperature would skyrocket. So what do i buy to keep the temperature low?
Theres so many different cooling system i dont know what to buy, GPU cooling, liquid cooling, CPU coolings. What do i buy to keep the temp. low when im using full potential of the 8800 GTX.
2. Would buying a better power supply really help?
3. If i transfered all the components of the HP to a new larger case. would heat be a problem? (I would think the heat would disapate with all the extra space)
4. CAN I EVEN TRANSFERS the HP COMPONENTS INTO THE SELECTED CASE?

http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/…
9800 GTX has a lower power consumption, superior performance, and games slightly faster or equal to the 8800GTX. This means it will put out less heat and less power. Hopefully you wouldn't have to upgrade your power supply. Also, given that it has a 2 slots fan that ejects hot air out the back of the case and produces less heat, I doubt you will have any temperature increase at all, givien the older hotter 8600GT was spitting its hot air into your case.|||Adding a graphics card doesn't really increase the heat in your case by much. If you have 1 or 2 case fans, you'll be fine...no need for a new case. You might see an increase of 2-3 degrees Celsius...nothing to get worked up about.
You do, however, DEFINITELY need a new power supply. The 8800GTX is a huge power hog, and a stock HP power supply isn't going to be able to power it well enough. You should buy at least a decent 600-watt power supply for your system+the 8800, or else nothing in your computer will work properly.

How hot can my Video Card get?
I just got a new Video Card for my Desktop PC. I have some programs installed that tell me what the temperature of my hardware is.
I can view the temperature of my Processor, Hard Drives, and my new Video Card. However, I don't have super great airflow inside my PC. So I'm a bit worried about my Video Card burning out since I am somewhat of a gamer.
I have an:
-MSI NVidia GeForce 9600 GSO
So my question is:
How hot can this Card get until it reaches a "dangerous" temperature?
(Note: Yes, I'm quite aware that the temperature measuring software isn't always reliable!)|||Manufacturers often list a maximum operating temperature, above which the chip could potentially be damaged (the aforementioned 105C, 115C). That's useful, but you will probably find that the card will start generating visible artifacts, or errors, or crash, at temperatures somewhat lower than those maximum safe temperatures. For me, if I saw the card was regularly getting over about 95C, at the maximum, I would do something to improve the airflow in the case. (For many cards, it's normal for them to run around 85C under load.)|||i think dangerous temp is 60-70celsius|||115C is the threshold on 512MB, 768MB versions. 384MB versions is 105C
I can view the temperature of my Processor, Hard Drives, and my new Video Card. However, I don't have super great airflow inside my PC. So I'm a bit worried about my Video Card burning out since I am somewhat of a gamer.
I have an:
-MSI NVidia GeForce 9600 GSO
So my question is:
How hot can this Card get until it reaches a "dangerous" temperature?
(Note: Yes, I'm quite aware that the temperature measuring software isn't always reliable!)|||Manufacturers often list a maximum operating temperature, above which the chip could potentially be damaged (the aforementioned 105C, 115C). That's useful, but you will probably find that the card will start generating visible artifacts, or errors, or crash, at temperatures somewhat lower than those maximum safe temperatures. For me, if I saw the card was regularly getting over about 95C, at the maximum, I would do something to improve the airflow in the case.

How to cool down video card?
I have built myself a very high performance gaming desktop PC, but the video card is heating up the network card. The video card is at a perfect temperature, but the network card isnt.
The only thing i can think of is: the video card is a dual card, so there is a heat sync taking up another slot. could i not just take off the slot panel and put a fan outside to blow the heat off to the other 4 fans? (processer, huge, and i mean massive power supply and 2 case fans, one suck one blow)
or is there a PCI slot fan that i could put in the slot between the network card and the video card
note: i can't move the network card any further away, it is at the bottom and the video card is in the video card slot
note: it is slowing down the connection considerably if i have the system on for any more than about an hour, then it takes bout 20 minutes to cool the video card. The slowig down doesnt help online gaming much :/ alot of disconnection and lag|||There are pci slot fans you can put in. check http://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/clic… under cooling products.|||LOOK HERE AND GET ONE OF THESE.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductLis…|||I had the same problem, and weeks of searching i found the perfect product. i'm jsut waiting for it to come now!! and all you have to do is screw it to one of the screws holding down your motherbard and you can point the fan anywere!!
it's the only thing that i could find that didnt take up another slot, and you dont even have to take out the card and put a new heat sink on it. and you can use it to cool anythink. i'm getting 2! one for the graphics card and one for the Northbridge or maybe hard drive, havnt workd out which yet.
but the best is this, no noise!! you can set it to 3 diffrent speeds. and it's got blue lights on it!
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduc…|||hi dec
this is the only problem mate when you use high end graphic cards,they produce alot of heat and you need to use some clever cooling solutions to ensure they work at their optimal performance
the ideal cooling configuration in the average p.c midi case is a 80mm fan behind the bottom of the front case fascia,and another 80mm fan at the rear center,this ensures both your processor and graphics cards get enough ventelation and dont get too hot
other optional fans can be paced in the side panel(note:this can sometimes place too much emphasis on the cpu and thus the graphic cards suffer and get even hotter),so if you use a side panel fan,allow for extra ventelation for your graphics card
and a good cooler for your graphics card come sin the shape of a Slot Mountable Cooler (System Exhaust Blower)
from http://www.moretoncomputers.co.uk/online…
this fits were a pci card would and screws into a bay the same way as a pci card,this then removes any hot air from the case and keeping your graphic cards nice and cool,these are very inexpensive and do a great job
i hope this helps ,any problems let me know
good luck mate !|||I've always found the more fans and vent holes the better. You could do like you said, take off a rear slot cover, and see if there are other places to put more chassis fans. If so you can easily get them from Frey's or CompUSA.|||If you are afraid of overheating, do what I do: take the side panels off of the tower and set a small desk fan to blow through the system at the low speed. Works wonders for me....|||Pay more attention to the overall airflow in your case. If it's a "high performance gaming desktop pc" it probably has one of those clear covers, right? Do a smoke test. Light an incense stick or something and see how the smoke blows through the case. More fans don't work if they are fighting each other and if there is a dead air spot, it will never cool.

What are safe temperatures for a Sapphire 5850 Radeon video card?
Under intense use, sometimes mine will break 80 c, but has never gone over 85 to my knowledge. Is that within safe range?|||As long as it isn't operating at over 80 degrees for hours on end at a time, you should be fine. If i were you I would try and improve the cooling and airflow inside the computer by opening up the computers case, checking that there aren't any cables blocking the fans, and maybe apply some new thermal compound to the cpu.
Question about my new Radeon HD 4350 512MB video card? Temperature?
Okay so today I installed my new video card in a Radeon HD 4350 512MB.
When I touched it, it felt very hot.
I did a reading using the program called GPU-Z and I was wondering if this is too hot?
GPU Core Clock = 110.0MHZ
GPU Memory Clock = 396.0 MHZ
GPU Temp. = 75 C
Fan Speed = 30%
GPU Load = 3%
Fan Speed = --RPM
GPU Temp #1 = 73 C
GPU Temp #2 = 64 C|||Those are normal temperatures.|||That is very hot for not being under load. Have you checked to see if the fan is actually spinning? If so, it seems that either theres no thermal paste under your heat sink or the heat sink on the card is loose you could try refitting the heatsink but you would need some thermal paste to do so, there are many guides on the internet for basic installation a heat sink. But if the card is new and you do not want to mess with it yourself I would contact the manufacturer and request that it be replaced.

What should be the normal or acceptable temperature range of a video card when playing games?
i have an nvidia geforce go 7200 on my laptop.|||Your GPU should register around 55 Degrees Celsius during idle/normal use and 75 Degrees Celsius during intensive use (like gaming). If it's way over this value (around 90-100) you will need to get your laptop checked. If your computer shuts down because it gets too hot, then that might be a sign. It automatically does this to prevent any heat damage.
The computer usually cuts power to prevent overheat at 100C, even though the GPU can handle a temperature up to 120C. However, running it hot all the time will hurt the computer.|||If it gets above 60 Celsius then start worrying. I think normal would be around 45-50. I'm not positive, but I believe that's the right temperature for processors. Really it'll shut itself down if it gets too hot so you don't have to worry too much. But if it starts shutting down randomly it usually means something is overheating too much. An easy fix is to clean the dust off of it.|||50 to 80 degrees c|||every card has its temp range specify what card it is|||122-176 F

Where did the video card temperature monitor for the nvidia Forceware drivers go??
Back when I had XP, the nvidia Forceware drivers had the option of the classic menu, and one of the tabs had a little graph that showed the current temperature of the GPU.
However, I've installed Vista, and now the Forceware drivers use the severely dumbed-down "nvidia control panel". I have no idea where to find the temp monitor now, and don't even know if it still exists.
Can someone tell me where it is? Or if it doesn't exist as part of the drivers anymore, is there another program that will give me the same info?
PS. I hate the nvidia control panel!|||i think u can switch back over to the actual control panel .. thers a setting for it somewhere there ...

Will underclocking my 9800gt video card reduce the Temperature?
i want to leave my pc on over night to download files from the internet but i don't want my video card to be running at 45 C all night when im not even using it for anything my monitor is off. so i was thing that i use ntune to really underclock the core and memory frequencies.will uderclocking cause damage the card thanks for any info|||Dude, relax. Your card is in no danger, in fact it's in a very safe place because the computer keeps it at a constant 45C. That's a very safe temperature for a vidcard and by keeping it at a constant temperature, you prevent expansion and contraction in the circuits and therefore extend the life of your card. I wouldn't worry too much, another year and the 9800 GT will have gone the way of the 9500 GT. (i.e. It will only cost $50 to replace it.) Keep in mind something else too:
If your card is made by BFG, EVGA, Sparkle or XFX, it has a lifetime guarantee and running in a computer case at stock speeds like it's supposed to is NOT going to void your warranty.|||It will reduce the temperature a little, but first I would look into how you're cooling it. If the card has a fan on the board, I would check to make sure it's still working. Open the case and see if it moves when the computer is on. I'd also check to make sure any heat sinks are on tight. You can also buy a fan that will fit into an expansion slot. Put it right under the video card and see if that brings the temperature down.

Video card (bfg gts 250 1gb) and case advice.?
just got my bfg tech gts 250. put it in my new dell vostro 220 case. i just installed a 650 watt power supply that im kind of regretting because its just taking all the room up in the case with these massive meshed cables. anyway I have 2 questions.
1. i ran a stress test on it and got it up to 80 degrees celcius before i stopped it. I have no idea what a safe max temperature i should run on this card is? i want to OC it as well.
2. those thick mesh cables are touching my video card. is that ok? everything is so crammed. i'm not buying another new case.. i've tied the cables but their still very heavy, can i electical tape them to the top of my case? how do i manage with a small case and massive parts.|||Go for a 260 for just a few bucks more or a 285 if you really like some quality, many Nvidia models below the X6XX is typically questionable at best and cost almost as much|||You could tape them, but that's gonna be a mess if you want to change things up at all. I would just get a bunch of zip ties. I zip tie mine and shove them into the empty optical drive/hard drive slots.
80 is hot, but I would look at the manuals that your stuff came with, they should give you max operating temps.
My stuff runs between 25 and 50 degrees C, but I would be fine with them going a little hotter. I wouldn't OC your graphics card, a GTS 250 can handle anything out right now, and 80 is pretty hot.
OC your processor instead, it probably runs cooler and the improvement you'll get from that will be better.|||80C is high for any component. I run a 9800GTX+, a GTS 250 1GB is a rebranded 9800GTX+. My temps never go above 65C overclocked ( It was a factory unoverclocked model and I pushed it up to the factory overclocked speeds ). I run in an antec 1200 full tower case. An antec 900 would work for you.
Dell cases are meant for relatively tame parts. You will not be able to overclock in that case without putting ridiculously loud fans in it or water cooling. The high end of systems meant to fit in that case are dual core systems with a 9600GT or other video cards not longer than the PCI slot.
To put it in perspective, I have 3 120MM intakes, a 120MM side intake, 2 120MM exhausts, and 1 200MM exhaust on my case. The PSU and GPU pretty much monopolize the part of the case with 2 of the 3 120MM intakes and yet the card still stays that toasty.
At 80C, it's likely going to die within a year to year in a half. If you overclock it it'll toast itself pretty instantly.
An antec 900 is a 90 dollar investment that will save you hundreds in the long term. ( I don't recommend the 1200 unless you run with 5 or more hard drives. )
If you want other opinions, check http://www.pcper.com , this is my setup: http://www.wolvenmoon.com/sharedfiles/pa… , I used to run my quad core system with 9800GTX+ and 550W PSU in the silver case with 5 CD-rom sized bays, it was too cramped and my temps were too high and the fans too loud.

Problems with video card! help?
Recently after playing some games (with massive graphics, like Mass Effect 2), i have witnessed a problem.
After playing for some hours, the PC suddenly stops, and after it, the monitor view goes like this:
http://www.putimg.net/uploads/1269815355…
It wasn't exactly like this. I had to re-create the effect in Photoshop, because Print Screen seem not to detect this error.
Along with it a message "A critical error in your video card drive has been successfully fixed". yet, the problem persisted.
Everything ran perfectly during this error. I connected to Messenger, opened photoshop, everything, but with this mezzotinted effect running along.
And it wasn't static: the error "reacted" to movements at the monitor screen (like the mouse cursor), which makes me think the problem is at the Video Card.
Some other kinds of errors already happened when playing games, but it was momentary; errors like the monitor screen go like a off-air TV, or the colors turns bursted ( too hued )
Summarizing, a lots of error have been happening when playing 3D games for a long time.
My Video Card is GeForce 8600 GT 512 mb DDR2.
My current Video Card Temperature is 144ºF (62ºC).
Could you help me guys?|||If the pixelation persists (it stays after you reboot and especialy if it is there before you load windows) try changing the chord or try another monitor if you have one.

Will increasing the fan speed on my video card to 100% hurt it at all?
The temperature on the video card is already amazing, but I noticed that the fan speed is defaulted to only around 30%. I am wondering if It would hurt the drive any if I increased it to 100%, just to ensure it stays good and cold. But, I am reluctant to do so as I am afraid it might decrease the life span of the video card. I have already gone through quite a few video cards (for various reasons, my last one's fan kept getting stuck making it run idle at about 110.) I just want to ensure that this video card stays cold so I don't have any more video problems. I have it set to 50% at the moment and Idling at 58 Celsius.|||Video cards adjust the fan speed on their own depending on how much cooling is needed. If it's at 30% now, that's probably because it's not that hot. However, when you're playing a game full screen and giving the video card a lot of work to do, the fan should scale up to a higher percentage as needed. It's probably best to leave the fan speed settings alone as they're already being managed automatically.|||A faster fan won't hurt your video card but will use more power and will make more noise. Since people these days want their pc's to be quiet the fan's speed is set to 30% by default.
And as the previous answerer said often the speed of the fan is managed by your pc depending on how intensive you use the card. Changing the speed won't do the card any harm but you'll be using more power which is not necessary.|||The card might get overheated when you set it for 100%. Its default configuration was 30% and there is definitely a reason to do that. I am no IT expert, but I know that going much more beyond that its expectation only bring more harm than good|||58? That's hot. I mean it is still well within the "safe" range of GPUs but wow. At idle it should be a LOT cooler. Do you have ALL of your wires either tucked behind your motherboard or zip tied securely and SAFELY( not too tight) out of the way? Do you have more air going in than out? It's best to create a bit of a positive pressure in your case to get behind the motherboard and have a nice flow of air for your GPU and CPU heatinks/fans. Apparently you don't have good airflow, have a GFX card that doesn't have just external airflow or your room is HOT. It best to have a couple fans upfront, a fan or 2 on the side and 1 120mm fan in the back for exhaust. If you have a GFX card like this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as… then the airflow isn't being directed and the heat from the card is simply heating up the interior of your case. If you had a card like this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as… then you have enternal exhaust which means your case will stay cooler with 99% of the heat going out the back of your case. The same applies to your CPU heatsink/fan/cooler. If it isn't designed sorrectly and immediately exhausting the aire then the extra heat from the CPU can affect the GPU. I chose a card that included a LIFETIME warranty. If my fan dies I send in the card and it is replaced. I have a couple old HD3870s on standby should that day ever come.
As far as your question it will reduce the lifespan of your fan but that would be countered by the cooler GPU so I would say maybe 60% at all times and maybe higher during gaming sessions. YOu definitely need to address the other issues that is keeping your GPU so hot. If you made your cooling system more efficient then you might just be able to leave that baby on auto and be cooler than you are now. Your card does know itself best so if in doubt leave on auto.
http://postimage.org/image/pr0nnj2lv/ are my temps. Pay no attention to the GTX580. I just tried it out earlier(* the skin) to see if it would work and I forgot to change it back. But anyways I have the GTX 570 Classified HD.

that was a long way of saying: it's probably auto throttling and to leave it alone.
And as the previous answerer said often the speed of the fan is managed by your pc depending on how intensive you use the card. Changing the speed won't do the card any harm but you'll be using more power which is not necessary.|||The card might get overheated when you set it for 100%. Its default configuration was 30% and there is definitely a reason to do that. I am no IT expert, but I know that going much more beyond that its expectation only bring more harm than good|||58? That's hot. I mean it is still well within the "safe" range of GPUs but wow. At idle it should be a LOT cooler. Do you have ALL of your wires either tucked behind your motherboard or zip tied securely and SAFELY( not too tight) out of the way? Do you have more air going in than out? It's best to create a bit of a positive pressure in your case to get behind the motherboard and have a nice flow of air for your GPU and CPU heatinks/fans. Apparently you don't have good airflow, have a GFX card that doesn't have just external airflow or your room is HOT. It best to have a couple fans upfront, a fan or 2 on the side and 1 120mm fan in the back for exhaust. If you have a GFX card like this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as… then the airflow isn't being directed and the heat from the card is simply heating up the interior of your case. If you had a card like this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as… then you have enternal exhaust which means your case will stay cooler with 99% of the heat going out the back of your case. The same applies to your CPU heatsink/fan/cooler. If it isn't designed sorrectly and immediately exhausting the aire then the extra heat from the CPU can affect the GPU. I chose a card that included a LIFETIME warranty. If my fan dies I send in the card and it is replaced. I have a couple old HD3870s on standby should that day ever come.
As far as your question it will reduce the lifespan of your fan but that would be countered by the cooler GPU so I would say maybe 60% at all times and maybe higher during gaming sessions. YOu definitely need to address the other issues that is keeping your GPU so hot. If you made your cooling system more efficient then you might just be able to leave that baby on auto and be cooler than you are now. Your card does know itself best so if in doubt leave on auto.
http://postimage.org/image/pr0nnj2lv/ are my temps. Pay no attention to the GTX580. I just tried it out earlier(* the skin) to see if it would work and I forgot to change it back. But anyways I have the GTX 570 Classified HD.

What's wrong with my video card?
Hey all,
K, here's the deal. I'm getting a new video card regardless so it's not a big deal, but I really would like to know what the problem is with my video.
Problem:
Any game I try to play on my computer has severe graphical issues. The problem started when I installed a registry file called "coolbits" in order to try and "overclock" my video card. Only after the fact did I find out it wasn't compatible with my current video card (NVidia GeForce 5200 FX... yeah it's old). Anyway, I realized I made a mistake, cuz the game I was playing (TES IV: Oblivion) kept freezing up on me. So I figured it must be that dumb file. So I restored Windows back to before I installed the dumb thing. Problem is I'm still having problems with it, now it affects all video games. It's gotten to the point where I've had to reformat my computer only it's still doing it. I tried to play World of Warcraft recently and it glitched so bad my monitor shut itself off. I know there's a problem with the card or files or something I just can't for the life of me figure out what it is. Like I said, I'm getting a new card by Friday, but I would like to play my games in the mean time.
Attempts:
So far I've tried restoring my computer (twice). I've reformatted my computer. I had the latest drivers for my video card, so I downgraded to see if the games would work on an older version. No luck. The temperature gadge application I'm running on my comp says the CPU is a lil hot but it's always been that way and I haven't had any problems with it thus far.
Question:
So what I really wanna know is if there is anyone out there that has an idea or has had a similar situation they were able to resolve, and if so how?
Thanks in advance for any responses recieved and/or advice given.

Is it possible that my pc restarts because of video card overheating or is the PSU that causes this?
Is it possible that my pc restarts because of video card overheating?
Since I installed the latest drivers for my EAH 5670 video-card and had a Blue Screen of Death suggesting a hardware failure, my compure keeps restarting when I use applications that stress the video card like 3D games (BF BC2). At first I thought it was the processor overheating, so I changed the cooler and now that is not a concern anymore, but I noticed that the video card has a very high temperature, quickly raising at aprox 70C and probably more during the game. In the end the PC restarts(and I can anticipate this because the sound of the videocard cooler is like a chopper). In EVEREST Ultimate Edition I noticed that I have another device in the system that has a high temp(75-92C). It is called " Aux" and I don't know what device this is.
Is it possible that the video-card overheating is causing the PC restart.. even if I disabled the " enable overheat protection" feature from the AI manager?
Is it possible for the new software that caused the BSOD to be the cause of a hardware damage?... until then my PC worked just fine.. no temperature issues.
Additional Details
Voltage values(from EVEREST) are ok except those two: "+12V" value ~ 8.8V and "-5V " value ~ -1.45V

Is it possible for the videocard to overheat due to lack of voltage?

That model card has a minimum 400 watt requirement. Check your psu capacity and make sure it is at least 600 watts.

Video card heat???????????????
When I got my video card it idled at about 53C. That was in the winter, so obviously it shoudl be a few degrees hotter in the summer because of higher temperature/ higher humidity. It stabled out at 57c, and the past few weeks after not checking my temperature for a while, it's been anywhere from 58c-61c. Could this be from dust buildup? Dust can make this much heat? Thanks.|||possibly, but the card just could run really hot. try getting more fans|||not knowing what type of gpu it is I cant really help much...but if it is a new generation gpu those temps are not bad at idle...what are they under a heavy load?...i.e..playing games etc...you can always raise the fan speed to 60-80%....that would most likely keep your temps good w/out worries...also taking a can of compressed air and cleaning the gpu and the inside of the case out would help keep temps under control...dust=heat.....

dont know if you can set up a fan profile for that gpu sense it is a agp and not pci-e....here is 2 programs for overclocking and setting fan speeds...you dont need to overclock your card, but if you want to raise the fan speeds these programs might do that..you will have to read through to see if it will work with your gpu....

Could high CPU temperatures and high CPU usage be caused by a cheap video card?
I have a super cheap integrated Geforce 7100. Could that cause high cpu temperature and high cpu usage during game play?|||m not quite sure about cheap video card, but you need to understand that a good video card, cheap or not, comes with its own cooling mechanism, in simple words, it has its own little fan... :) dis is very necessary as any high end video card does cause cpu core temperatures to rise because of the excess computing and it turn drawing up off of more power...|||It's airflow, if the air isn't flowing, possibly because it's being blocked by the video card now, you'll need to put another fan in the case to assist cooling. No a video card on it's own won't cause your CPU to heat up. Bad thermal paste probably, open it up clean out the dust (another temp bandit) and get some Arctic Silver reapply that to the processor, and that should solve the problem. New fan, new thermal paste and clean it out.|||cheap video cards shouldn't make a difference, as long as the video card can handle DirectX commands then the CPU should just pass the 3D data straight on to the card for processing and it shouldn't bother it.
Increased cpu usage can be caused by other nasties like malware, or a virus, or some kind of badly wrote program.
as for increased temperature, ensure the air flow inside your case is flowing correctly.
When you install a fan inside a PC case you can put it in two ways, one way it sucks air in and the other way it blows air out. Ideally you should have as a minimum 2 fans inside your PC case, one on the front or side to suck cold air in, and one on the back to blow cold air out.
On mine I've gone a bit overkill. I have two sucking fans in the roof and one on the side all sucking air in and then 3 fans on the back all blowing air out, so the air has a flow from the front to the back.
Obviously if all fans are positioned so they are blowing air out the CPU will overheat as very little cool air is going in, and the other way round you can just end up circulating the warm air round and round the case.|||Not really. Maybe for physics, slightly.|||Not at all. The GeForce 7100 is merely a chipset with its own cooling and different processes. It's completely separate from the CPU.
With that said, if you're experience higher CPU temperatures I highly suggest that you
1) Clean out your PC from dust with an air duster
2) Replace the thermal paste with some arctic silver (google it)
It should remedy the temperature problem.|||Some onboard graphic chips are pretty good on these newer boards but thats not always the case.

Should a video card fan run constantly?
When playing games, I've had problems with hangups and reboots. The last time, I took the case off, cleaned things off and rebooted. I noticed the fan didn't start up and the card was a little warm. Should the fan on the card start as soon as power goes through the motherboard, or does it kick on at a certain temperature. Just wondering so I know whether I've got a dead fan/ video card, or if I just have to sit there and wait to see it kick on. Thanks!|||the fan should run all the time.........at least the nvidia's i deal with do........i have a 8800gt oced, and running the fan at 40% while not gaming........when gaming as the temp rises i have it set to run at 80%.........thats using riva tuner...........you can down load, riva tuner or atitool to see if your fan is operating and at what rpm.........or game with the side panel off, and reach in after a bout ten minutes, and put your hand under the card, ya should feel air getting sucked into it, or if ya dont do that you will atleast here it..........you can download everest 2.20 and monitor your temps also.........should be 50c idle and like 75c underload..........but that depends on the card ya got to............good luck......scott|||The fan on your video card should run continuously even when you are not playing game but the fan should run faster when you are playing game.
How hot can a video card get before it overheats?
what temperature ranges is it safe to run a video card at, i have a Nvidia 7300 w 256mb, heat sink cooling, no fan for it.|||Anything over 80c isn't good.
Mine runs at about 36c with full load.

It totally, will depend upon your compter's cooling abilities - both, mechanically and structurally. Your ideal is to keep the card, it's diodes etc. cool - I believe 50 degrees Centigrade is a max. to accept.|||i have an nvidia 7600 gs with teperature monitor and it says core will start to slow down to compensate for heat at 125c or 257f.|||Well Here is a few tricks to help you out so your Card / Processor don't over heat or it will slow the process down.
What you can do is Add fans into your Tower and if that don't work take the side of your Tower off , so one side is left open. If you live in a very hot humid or even Dry climate take the side door off and turn a house fan on and have it blowing in toward the computer where the side is open. This will cool the system down nicely.
I run an ASUS MB with CP AMD 3500+, with a 9800 pro Vid card along with a 500watt PS. My system sometimes gets hot during summer so this is what I do. I also have 6 fans inside blowing all the time. By me taken the side door off if I game and allowing my house fan to blow in the direction it cools down ASAP. Don't take the chance of letting your Vid Card over heat because once its fried you will have to buy another one :)|||It will be fine, as long as your computer has a fan the card will rune no risk of overheating. The Nvidia 7300 only has a heatsink so that the computers fan will cool it down.
Your card will be fine, besides, silicon can stand large tempretures|||Approaching 200f, the silicon substrate can start to warp - the end will come very quickly. Sometimes a circuit just opens and the chip goes dead. Other times, there can be a short, and then it can pop like a firecracker, doing motherboard damage as well....
A fan costs about $15 for that GPU, get one.|||Like everyone else said, it depends on you computer.
I have an AGP eVGA 6800 Ultra and the core will slow down at 115 C. It usually runs at 58 C and sometimes up to 65 C during gaming and this is with an aftermarket Zalman fan. Many aftermarket fans usually preform better than stock fans or heatskins if you want to keep your video card cooler.
Keep in mind though, if you get a fan in place of your heatskink, there will be added noise because of the fan, but, there are many good fans out there that can cool well without producing much noise. You just have to search around and keep an eye out for the dBA. The lower the dBA, the quiter the fan. Check out www.newegg.com. I also recommend sticking with ball bearing fans as they last longer.

If you live in a very hot humid or even Dry climate take the side door off and turn a house fan on and have it blowing in toward the computer where the side is open. This will cool the system down nicely.
I run an ASUS MB with CP AMD 3500+, with a 9800 pro Vid card along with a 500watt PS. My system sometimes gets hot during summer so this is what I do. I also have 6 fans inside blowing all the time. By me taken the side door off if I game and allowing my house fan to blow in the direction it cools down ASAP. Don't take the chance of letting your Vid Card over heat because once its fried you will have to buy another one :)|||It will be fine, as long as your computer has a fan the card will rune no risk of overheating. The Nvidia 7300 only has a heatsink so that the computers fan will cool it down.
Your card will be fine, besides, silicon can stand large tempretures|||Approaching 200f, the silicon substrate can start to warp - the end will come very quickly. Sometimes a circuit just opens and the chip goes dead. Other times, there can be a short, and then it can pop like a firecracker, doing motherboard damage as well....
A fan costs about $15 for that GPU, get one.|||Like everyone else said, it depends on you computer.
I have an AGP eVGA 6800 Ultra and the core will slow down at 115 C. It usually runs at 58 C and sometimes up to 65 C during gaming and this is with an aftermarket Zalman fan. Many aftermarket fans usually preform better than stock fans or heatskins if you want to keep your video card cooler.
Keep in mind though, if you get a fan in place of your heatskink, there will be added noise because of the fan, but, there are many good fans out there that can cool well without producing much noise. You just have to search around and keep an eye out for the dBA. The lower the dBA, the quiter the fan. Check out www.newegg.com. I also recommend sticking with ball bearing fans as they last longer.
Video card temperature?
what do you use to measure the temperature of something in your pc, such as a video card?|||Everest Ultimate will do that, & much more (free trial):

EDIT: taken from a random source... dunno if correct...
If you go to your display properties (right click on desktop, properties) select SETTINGS then ADVANCED, then GEFORCE 6800 GT (or whatever the card is named) then TEMPERATURE SETTINGS (at least with the latest drivers) you can see the current GPU temp there and tell it to inform you if it exceeds the threshold tempurature.

Hot Video Card, GT 430?
hello i have a Nvidia GT 430 video card, I got it 4 days ago and what I've found is it gets really hot (80 degrees Celsius with fan on 65% and low 70s with fan at 90%) I knew before I bought it that the temperature was going to be above average but not this high. Should i be worried about the temperatures? or is it normal. P.S its the EVGA model, Thanks.|||Wouldn't it have been smarter to ask this on EVGA's forums or email them?
Video card temperature on vista?
My nvidia 8500gt ddr3 oc edition gets 59c. on start up and the maximum i got in 12hrs straight is 63c. When i overclocked it one step forward it shows 56-57c. Why lower? i expect that it will get hotter|||It's going to be lower if your not using it because it doesn't want to overheat. Usually though when you start up your computer or are going to play a game the temperature will rise.
Are these temperatures too hot for my video card?
I've got a Radeon HD 4870 x2, 2GB
On idle, I believe it's ok, it runs at around 55c
At full load, it runs at 90c, even using RivaTuner
I use HWMonitor to read the temperatures
The room temp is at 21c
My computer specs:
Xclio Windtunnel case
Mobo: EVGA X58
CPU: i7 965 @3.20 GHz
FAN: Thermaltake V1
RAM: 12GB Corsair XM3 Dominator
HD: 1TB + 500GB
GPU: Powercolor ATI Radeon HD 4870 X2 2GB
PSU: Thermaltake Toughpower 1000W
OS: Dual, XP Pro SP3 and Vista Extreme Edition R2
There are two 250mm on the side panel to vent the Hard Drives and the Video Card, and one 120mm exhaust fan on the back.|||90c is hell high temperature.It can be dangerous for your 3d card
average high temperature of your 3d card should be 70c not above from this.
Your temp is very good & your cooling system & exhaust system is also great
I think it is the problem of your 3d card acclaim for warranty or replace it with any other model
Try to Nvidia 3D cards I am using them in extremely hot weather & it only goes to 60c without any cooling system except i remain the case open|||All cards have different temp ratings but I would like to keep my card around 60C MAX-70
I would just speed up your fan speed when you are playing your games or whenever your GPU is on full load.
