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.

I'm considering picking up one of those Artic Cooler silent fan kits to replace the stock fan that ATI puts on.

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.
