The stock coolers are rather dinky. After market cooling will be your friend.

For the record, I wouldn't expect the RV670 to run any cooler.

Those are some ridiculous temperatures...

Damn high temps.
Summer + bad airflow in case + stock 8800GT cooler = 100*C.
We can call 8800GT's kettles, toasters or pans :ROTF:

Eh, it isn't the first time we've seen temps like that. I wonder what the fan speed was set to?

:::edit:::
Fan's on auto, makes me wonder if auto is the standard 60% the other 88's saw. Kick it to 100% and it'll probably drop quite a bit.

Also, that 73ºC ambient is telling me someone has some VERY bad case air flow.

Here's a stock MSI OC version in idle... I kind of doubt it's going to jump 40C between idle and full load. The other one must be under the worst of air flow.

I really hope we don't see those temps, I have good case air flow and my comp room is in the basement so I am usually 18c ambiant so I guess I shouldn't worry much.

I will try it on the stock cooler first but I think eventually I will move to a Zalman

since ill take 2 of those .. **fingers crossed** hopefully that stupid logo cover can be taken off and ill put a 120mm fan blowing away from the heatsink

i dont like thermalright, zalman's ram sink .. those things fall rather easily ... and the Mosfet heatsink as well... ill just use the stock cooler

but boy that 18k 3dmark06 is stunning .

. .. where r all the RV670 benches ... also that 8800GTS G92 core as well ...

Some one shoot that guy with the 8800GT SLI and take over this setup , in what forum they allow you to run a QX6850 @ 12X300 with 3:4 :mad: ,ABC overclocking says 9X400 1:1 and if you are aiming for low OC don't get a QX

also take note that this is a load temp with ati 3d artifact checker running for 32min straight. I don't know about you but I game for more than 32 min usually.
And assuming the fan is on auto...exactly how high does the gpu temp have to get in order for that dinky fan on the cooler to work at 100%?

you have to take into account that ATI tools fuzzy square test thing also loads the GPU much more then an actual game does - in terms of generating heat. I don't think you'll ever see the temps you see under ATI tool while gaming... at least this was true when i was first overclocking my x1800xl a year or so ago... or was that 2 years ago? lol

With ATI tool my 8800gts max temp is about 72C. In games it can go up to 78C. It might be different for higher resolutions. I play at 1920x1200.

True for me as well, ATiTool usually gets to temps ~5C higher than what I see when gaming, STALKER is one of the "warmer" games for me.

damn!! with a Q6x00 @ 4GHz + GT SLI @ say 700/2000 ... 20k should be ez

@ warboy, any links?? i want more info about those cards lol!! cuz EVGA usually sells it ~$30 to $50 cheaper than XFX, and BFG (at least for GTS, GTX), and happens to be in CA which means RMA = a bit quicker

good thing i havent bought Quakewars ...

So far we have a clown from foxcon, Hair from Inno3D, and and a blue energy ray watchamacallit from EVGA...

Wait till we see Frobot in action. :D

Wow the EVGA is nice. Since it's coming out November 29th it kind of sucks that I can't preorder it on newegg... :(
