Hi all
I had gigabyte radeon 9800XT since april'04. first i'm using standard driver from gigabyte catalyst 4.4 and today i'm using catalyst 4.7 that have a new temp monitor. It show 55C after the computer on, but the usual temp is 63C (i think its rather high) and when i run 3DMark'03 or games it show 68C (overclocked in the catalyst 4.7 properties. Is there anyone who had the same problem with mine?? Do you think 68C full load is OK??? is it affecting my VGA life time ???
I've already add vantec pci card fan just under the VGA but temp only drop about 1C
my processor run full load at 46C with motherboard monitor 5
btw the case temp at night is about 29~30C, at noon about 35~38C. and room temp at night about 25C, at noon about 30~32C
My computer spec:
AMD AthlonXP 3.0Ghz FSB333
Gigabyte Radeon 9800XT 256MB
MSI K7N2 Delta-L
Corsair TwinX 1 Gbyte XL Pro
Antec Plusview 1000AMG + Antec 350W SmartBlue
SoundBlaster Live 5.1
Seagate Barracuda 40GB 7200rpm
HS Thermaltake PIPE101 CL-P0006 + Vantec Tornado 92mm
