I have a EAH5870 GPU (http://www.kurich.com/asus-eah5870-1gb-graphics-card-291.html). It will probably be a week or more until I look into overclocking as I've never done it before.
However, I'm wondering if it would be safe to. With dual monitors, the graphics card is at 57 c, while no programs except SmartDoctor are open. Is this a normal temperature for not doing much?
I used its tool to put Temperature Mode on:
Temperature Mode:
In this mode, HyperDrive monitors and adjusts the working speed of the GPU according to the GPU temperature. To cool down the system, HyperDrive decreases the GPU speed if the temperature gets too high
There was also an option for Smart Control, where you choose the minimum temperature while idle etc... I changed this to 45 c, but the fan would constantly turn on and off while it moved from 45 c to 46 c and back down again.
I think it's a safe temperature, but I'm worried that it will get too high when it is under demand, or should I trust the fan control system more?
Thanks in advance!
