Guest Jeremy Posted April 11, 2005 Posted April 11, 2005 Thats pretty hot. Stock ATI cooling sucks anyway, I would buy something to keep it a little cooler. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadioActivated Posted April 11, 2005 Posted April 11, 2005 Any OC'ing ? If not, i'd suggest some better cooling. Artic Cooling have some nice ones, go check it out.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolMaster Posted April 11, 2005 Posted April 11, 2005 nope no ocing? and it's gonna keep that way artic cooling ones? are they hard to install? so since im gonna keep it non-oced is that normal temps for it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hardnrg Posted April 11, 2005 Posted April 11, 2005 i have mine (9800pro R350) over-volted, and over-clocked and it idles 42-47*C depending on ambient and doesn't go above around 52-54*C load so yes, i'd say your temps are hot...

fastvfr Posted April 12, 2005 Posted April 12, 2005 I vote for the extra cooling also. Just remember that the cooler the load temps are, the better it will run and the longer it will serve you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
