For 7800Gtx Owners

[Reaper6x3]

just a quick question, is it normal for the card to run hot when just on and really really hot when playing a game like fear, bf2 etc....

Mine's allways cold. And my case never gets even slightly heated.

Air cooled 120mm fan front and back, standard GPU cooler, AMD64 CPU with standard cooler with no overclocks.

42-44c (desktop) 68-70c running DX-9.0 games. 60c running older games (like Nascar 2003.

Sounds like airflow probs. More fans...intake and exhaust. My oc'ed 6800 gt oc keeps my feet warm in cold weather.

Download Motherboard Manager. It shows you the temp of your CPU, Case and any other temperature sensors you have. It's very useful. It shows in your taskbar the current temp of the sensors as tiny icons that update every second (or whatever interval you want). Since the video card is close to the CPU, it can sometimes increase the temperature of the CPU, also the overall temperature of the case increases too.

Re: For 7800Gtx Owners

my card stays at 50-60 degrees but XFX's cooling is great, best around i think!
