To All:

Monitor your card temperatures people!

I have mine running at all times and monitor it before/during/after playing games using RivaTuner graph chart.

Anything over 90c is cutting it close, and AFAIK hitting 90c will reboot the computer.

Good luck friends, protect your investment!

Hi TDW,

you are using antilag or you are using an software for keeping the temperature low for your vga card?

Thanks!

don't use anti-lag. The only tool I use is EVGA's precision tool. I only had to set it once and then I've never touched it. Never have problems with temps. The reason I probably don't have problems is because my computer is custom built by me. It's an Antec 1200 case with all fans replaced with Arctic Cooling fans. I have 7 fans running in my case not counting the CPU cooler. The mobo (Asus Crosshair Formula III) controls all the fans keeping the temps in check :up: I have 3 temp sensors scattered around the board monitoring critical items like the northbridge, memory, and the graphics cards that report to the mobo so it can further help to control temps.

Or you could be like me, I live in michigan, its about 10 degrees out... I leave the heat vents in my computer room closed, as well as the heat set to 60 in my house all together. My computer room is currently 52, according to my handy lil temp gauge and even under extreme load my ATI only gets up to around 60.

Note there is a difference between F, and C, degrees... but still generally on a hot summer day under EXTREME load i've seen my GPU get into the 90's more then once. Until my H2O cooler kicks in and the fire extinguisher blasts the temp back into the 70's.

So far this winter i've not heard my fans kick on once...not a single cooling device has powered up. lol.

Winter= cheap cooling.

I never use the original nvidia drivers, only those provided by MS updates even if they are old. Those are optimized, tested and approved by MS, any other drivers can make ur OS unstable.
