6600(GT) running at 89 Celsius at full load!

**jancz3rt** · 06-05-2005, 09:03 PM

Hey everyone, my card hits up to 89 Celsius at full load (80 at 400/1150)! I have a feeling that's too much. What do you think? What cooling solution would you recommend?

No my dads at 90 full load

Hmmm..so it seems like I am not the only one. It does not do that high when playing UT 2004. That goes 80 max. However I get such high temps when playing Underground 2.

More shaders?

Certainly has something to do with more intensive graphics. Actually with Unreal 2004 I barely get over 75.

Wow that is higher then my 6800Gt which I actualy forget what it is at full load but is somthing like 69 Celsius. Right now with the air conditioner on in the next room it's 60 Celsius at Idle.

1. Yer overclocking. That comes with the territory
2. 6600s tend to overheat due to a different (and inferior) heatsink mount
3. depending on the driver rev you have, you may be experiencing the temperature bug ... 76.44 and later corrected this

This sucks. I may have to get a Zalman or something to keep it cool. I know that I would not be able to use the Arctics because of the heatsinks applied to all the memory on my board. I had a careful look at the heatsink. It seems good and solid copper...going by reference design. However, there is a lot of gunk on the GPU. I think that there is too much.
