GPU Temp Question!!!

Zeroko · 10-03-2008, 06:07 PM

Hey Guys,

I was wondering if this is normal.

I have 2 Nvidia 8500 GT's Water cooled and their temperature is around 50-52 Idle. The water cooling is definitely working.

Hit me back guys

Video cards run hot anyway, so that isn't a bad temp. I would of thought it would be a lot lower with water though. The 8600GT I have in now idles about 45C. That is Celsius you're referring to?

edit-that's 45 on air

Thats weird what cooling system do you have? idk if my hd3870 is just special but it runs at 36 C TOPS with gpu maxed out playing games

i have an aquagate duo viva, basic double gpu water cooling. Maybe its cos the cards are old.

could be because you have 2 cards so the heat builds up in the water faster. i think if i get another video card im gonna have it on its own pump and radiator.
