Hi guys, i made some measurements of temperatures on my 8800Gt, to see how the 80mm fan is useful.
All my measurements was made with my 8800Gt@850/1000 Vgpu: 1.38 (full)
The ambient temperature was 20° Celsius
-For my measurements I use this marvellous tool (very useful for overclocking)

I realised all my measurements after 12 min of load with Ati tool.
All these readings are in Celsius degrees.
As you can see the point 1 and 3 seems to be the hottest areas on the card, without active cooling, the point 3 reaches 109° after 12 min of ati tool!!!
I can’t imagine how hot it could be after on or two hours of this test…. In my mind the conclusion should be a nice black screen …
The result show that the 80mm fan is very efficient , it keep the card very cool, and the max temp I found with it still was the point 3, but with only 51.1° this time
I really think this card need an active cooling if you decide to put a water block on it. It should help a lot in your overcloking
I hope these measurements will help you in your overcloking quest
The 8800 Gt is really a great card, thanks to NVIDIA
