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
