n0b0dy Posted October 5, 2010 Posted October 5, 2010 Can I run the OCCT power supply test on my system safely? Core i7 860 3.56 Ghz with 1.275V MSI-P55-GD80 Sapphire HD 5770 Corsair XMS3 2x2GB 1368Mhz 8-9-9-23 at 1.65V Seagate 1TB 7200.12 WD 640GB AAKS Samsung DVD Writer Corsair VX450 CoolerMaster Hyper N520 CPU Temperature - 38 idle/60full load (Core temperature ~ 78) Motherboard Temperature - 38 idle/45 full load GPU temperature - 57 idle/70 full load My ambient room temperature is 40. Yes, it is. I have passed Prime95 at 4 hours, and CPU:OCCT at 1 hour. My question is, can I run OCCT:Power Supply on my system? I've read that it could kill my PSU.

paulktreg Posted October 5, 2010 Posted October 5, 2010 I can't see it killing the Corsair, generics maybe but it proves nothing really. Why stress your CPU and GPU at the same time? Doesn't happen too often and proves little. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
n0b0dy Posted October 6, 2010 Posted October 6, 2010 Okay. Thanks for answering that question Paul. Another query. Can I keep the fanspeed on my HD5770 at 90%? It runs a little hot due to the climate here. Is it safe to keep it running at that speed? Will the fan get damaged or wear out soon at 90%? Im okay with the fan sound.

n0b0dy Posted October 6, 2010 Posted October 6, 2010 (edited) Just a little update. I still haven't been able to make myself take the OCCT test. I might do it later for 10-15 minutes. Right now, I'm running Prime95+Furmark+copying large files from HDD for 5 hours now. Everything seems to be running stable. For my location, temperatures are amazing, and you could make an omelet in here. All four cores are at 78 degrees C. GPU is at 95 C, with 90% fanspeed, both HDDs are running at 50 C and my room temperature is 43 C. Will run the tests till possible.

IVIYTH0S Posted October 6, 2010 Posted October 6, 2010 That's approaching dangerous for the GPU but I think you should be fine, still seems quite hot, what 5770 is it?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
n0b0dy Posted October 6, 2010 Posted October 6, 2010 (edited) ATI Sapphire HD 5770 1GB GDDR5. I think its a non-reference card. I've already underclocked it to 750/1000 from 850/1200. I cannot undervolt it in MSI afterburner even after enabling those options. Is there anything I can do to decrease the temperatures further. The cooling is stock. Its a clean card, no dust. Should I install a cabinet side fan? Even I'm concerned about the temperatures. Right now it's at 96 degrees celsius. Furmark has been running constantly for 7.5 hours now.

GabrielT Posted October 6, 2010 Posted October 6, 2010 Well 43 degree Celsius is about 110 degrees farenheight, for that I do not envy your climate. What case are you using? You may need more airflow as your room is hot to begin with and it is much harder to cool things off with hot air. The more warm air you can get out of the case and cool air in the better.

n0b0dy Posted October 6, 2010 Posted October 6, 2010 I have a CM690 with one front and one rear fan. I'll try to put in atmost 2 more fans. It's going to cost me an arm and a leg right now, but i'll try to do something. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GabrielT Posted October 6, 2010 Posted October 6, 2010 (edited) Give us the links to a couple online computer stores that ship to you. I see you are in India so I am not sure which stores are good and which are bad. We can give you a hand picking things out. Cooler Master 120mm Fan They are around $10usd / Rs.450 which is what they cost here in the states. Not sure what your budget is for fans but they might do the trick Edited October 7, 2010 by gabrieltessin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as the core stays under 110 C don't worry about it - I certainly wouldn't underclock it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our 4870x2s dont even run that high (remember mine ran 85C but that's filled with dust) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our 4870x2s dont even run that high (remember mine ran 85C but that's filled with dust) I wish mine ran that cool - mine ran 90-100 or so gaming (Furmark brought it well over 100). I didn't worry about it one bit. Of course - mine never breaks 45 C now. Edited October 7, 2010 by Waco Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
