Hi! What is everyone's average operating temperature of your card?

For my card:

GF4Ti4600 usually around 68 to 70 degree C without overclocking!

That seems very hot!

Unfortunatly just stating the temp the card is running at doesnt give a very
good picture, although 68 to 70 C is HOT!

Somewhere on the AMD site there is some info on how to measure your temps to
get a good view of whats happening. For example though here are my temps at
this moment in time:

24C Room temp
32C Mobo chipset temp
35C CPU Temp (AMD XP1800+)
41C G4Ti4600 temp (PC has been on about an hour, but no graphic intensive
stuff yet)

Strangely the two most important temps in those figures are the room temp
and the mobo temp, since they are your starting points for measuring the
other temps. What Im trying to say is that if the inside of your case is
already hot, then your video card is going to be hot to start with. So
first things first, I'd guess that the air inside your PC is already on the
warm side, so get that down first then start looking at the temp of the
Nvidia card.

Keith (and anyone else who wants to answer)-

How can I tell what the temperature on my G4Ti4400 is? It's an MSI card
and the software doesn't give temp/fan speed/voltage info (I posted about
it in an earlier thread - thanks for all the replies!). Is there hardware
you can use to get this info, and if so, where can I find it?

Thanks!

Scott

At the moment, I dont know of any software that will read the information!
For the fan speed there is no way of knowing, but for the temperature you
can use a probe if you have one (easiest if the slot next to the vid-card is
empty.

My GeForce 3Ti500 runs at about 60 deg C in ordinary usage ie not gaming.
The P4 2GHz processor zone runs around 52 -55deg----romm temp about 22 deg
