Blazing Fury From Hell

i wanna goto a lan party, so kick it up, make a muffin, and show us how high that temp goes

**clocker** · 12-01-2003, 04:31 AM

So it's going to rise 40-50degC under load?

That is a pathetic delta value.
Is the stock heatsink/ fan properly attached/functional?

i gotta agree with clocker maybe theres something wrong with that program or something outside the video card is effecting the readings

How are you reading temp on the video card?

That temp doesn't look so unreasonable and certainly doesn't account for your "easy bake oven" phenomenon...

currently idle [/b][/quote]

maybe this will prove it

well then, how was the muffin

**Duffman** · 12-01-2003, 05:15 AM

on a more serious note, id drill that hole soon if that things looking at 200 farenheight then thats not safe, maybe since its a small case that little bit of heat that would normally dispurse and cool get trapped and can't get out

check out those cases, also touch your Heatsink to see if its really getting that warm. u can usually tell also why in the hell are you running a 150 PSU with that machine? it needs atleast a 350Watt PSU. i u continue to use that your askin for trouble. a 150 PSU can not support a 5700u very long. also it might be the actual program inside the driver thats why u should open your case and feel around the card cause if it runs that hot for that long you should start seeing small artifacts in the picture.

I don't really think that drilling holes in your case sidepanel will do you much good unless you mount a fan in it.
Heat doesn't tend to travel horizontally.

Is this extreme rise in heat common for gaming video cards?
I don't play vidgames so I'm not familiar with this.
I've benchmarked and done burnin tests on my Radeon card and temps only rose maybe 3-4 degC. Nothing even near your 40 deg rise.
I still find it hard to believe that this is only a venting/airflow issue.

Could you answer this question, GCNaddict.

Is the videocard cooling fan even spinning?
