My GeForce 8800GT seems very hot! The fan is working fine on it but it
still seems very hot. What is the normal running temperature of this card? |

Vacuum out the heatsink, it's full of dustbunnies. rms Your idle temperature of 67.8°C (154°F) is normal. I have two EVGA 8800GTS 512 G92 running in 2-way SLI mode. The first card has an idle temperature of 62°C and the second card has an idle temperature of 69°C. Neither card is overclocked and fans are at stock speed of 37%. |

The Galaxy 8800GT I have in one system runs at about the same temps.......they are hotter running due to the narrow shrouded fan single slot design. Blowing it out would help.....increasing default fan speed and venting the case would too. The fans on these are noisy when ramped up however. |

What is the normal running temperature of this card?
Mine went up in smoke last year. I called BFG and they said that 95 degrees C was normal :-) Bull****. I was able to cool the thing with a Zalman fan, but the damage was already done. After it blew, I went to EVGA and bought a GTX 275 GT. It is much quieter, and idles at 35 degrees C. I never hear the fan. I do have a door fan blowing on it, and a fan in front of the case blows that way too. Also, I removed the slot covers on both sides of the 275 so that air blows out of the case in that area. Works great. But caution. The 275 is about 3 feet long :-) It won't fit in a lot of cases. johns |
