Safe OC Temp.

[ACIDMX]

Whats a good temp for a graphics card with a stock cooler?

Stock Core is 400MHz

Memory is 700MHz



I have it OC'd to
495 Core and 760 Memory

It runs @ about 56*C idle. About 70 while gaming.

well i have a ATI All-In Wonder 2006 pci express edition with stock cooling, but i changed out the thermal paste with Artic Silver 5. i was play dod:S for maybe 2 hours and as soon as i closed the game i checked temps and it said 58degC. i'm not sure what the core and memory was at i think just under 500 for core and 600-700 for memory. idle is 40 something.

I swapped out the thermal paste with arctic silver but i'm not seeing a drop in temp


Or maybe nTune is full of crap

well i was to dam impaitent to wait and test temps before. i think it dropped temps by 1-2 degrees on my cpu though. once i have my rig running good (whens its built) i will probably change out the thermal tapes, pastes pads, etc. on everything and see what happens. on the cpu though i will go right away with AS5.

It can help to know wich video card we're talking about. however, 70 is a bit high.

Its a 7600GS AGP.

I have the fan running at 100% and replaced the thermal paster with arctic silver.

I have it at 400 core and 864 memory. Idle at 54c and it peaks at 75c.

Im planning on getting this for it:

I'm surprised it can get so hot and not catch on fire or melt something.
(According to Google 75 degrees Celsius = 167 degrees Fahrenheit.) You could cook something on that chip!

I was under the impression those don't work too good.

I read at about 90c you should start worrying
