GPU Temperatures

Marcuz · 03-23-2008, 01:39 AM

I just bought HD3870 2X 1GB. I played game with my new video card, so I checked back of my PC and I felt very hot from my video card. I started to worry because I don't want nothing happens to my video card or my PC to damage it. How could I check temperatures of my video card to make sure everything OK? So, I could play game all day.

download everest or pcwizard

that will tell you.
when it comes to video card temperature, anywhere below 80*C is fine. anything above 120*C means you need to scream and run off cos thats when things get damaged haha.

but yeah. as long as its not above 100*C then its fine. but best to keep it under 80*C

Your graphics card temperatures should be kept in check by the stock cooling system, so as long as you don't overclock the card you should experience any problems even if you play games all day. If you want to overclock, then you should make sure that your system as a good airflow and also consider a custom cooling system.
