Worlds hottest graphics card? - 109°C

[nvidia]

Hi guys..
I have an XFX 8600GT. It normally runs at 89-91°C while playing games.
I have 2 fans near the graphics card. 1 on the side of the cabinet near the PCI-e slot and the other above the PCI-e slot to blow air in and out respectively. I removed the fans and ran ATI-tool and it went upto 101°C.


I ran 3d Mark 06 triangle test thing and the temperature went upto 109°C! (I had the fans running when i ran this)



Digg this


1) Is this like the hottest graphics card ever?
2) Whats the safe temperature limits of this card?
3) Shouldn't it shut down automatically when it overheats?

dude, just goto rashi and get the replacement.. u may even get it in minutes. .or in 2-3 days. .
i'm sure u remember that my old card was as bad as urs.

i think 110C is the threshold for this card after which it slows down.

[j1n M@tt]

which grfx card version is dat?? is dat a UDF7 ?? UDF7 hav heating problems.....so if u hav dat, u will hav to live with it, rashi wont just give u replacement for dat.

[nvidia]

^^Yup i know that this model has heating problems...
But shouldn't this thing shut down when it goes to very high temperatures?

buddy , i got the replacement and i had a udf7. . they replaced it with ual3...

i dont think the system will power down unless the mobo / proccy gets too hot. . the gpu will throttle and reduce temp..

Guess you can make yourself a cup of tea.

[utsav]

i can get it to 500 degrees by removing the heatsink

[praka123]

be sure,ur house wont be burnt!@nvidia:yaar,u r proud of it(getting this much hot) ?

[nvidia]

@sagargv: Do we have to pay extra for getting the newer model? Cuz its more expensive isnt it?

@NucleusKore: Yeah... And i can boil water too... Check my signature

@utsav: I bet you cant beat it with the heat sink(actively cooled) and 2 fans running near it...

@praka: Yeah im proud of it You have to achieve something with computers you know... and i did this

[sagargv]

i did not pay anything extra. . i dont think ual3 is costlier coz it doesnt have zalman cooler but its much better than udf7 . .as far as my new card goes , max with ati tool was 83C at stock ( checked for half an hour ). . OCed to 640/800 it went to 85C .. i'm running at stock . .during gaming it doesnt cross 78C.

dude , u live in b'lore. . goto rashi and get the replacement . if u're lucky they'll give u the new card then and there itself. . when my comp dealer ( from whom i got my pc and g-card ) went to rashi , he was just 10 mins late. .coz they had run out of stock and they had given their last 8600GT as replacement to some other guy . then rashi couriered it to the dealer and he got the card back to me in 3 days. . .

I strongly recommend u to go and see rashi.
OR u cud wait till ur card burns and get a new one (i like this one ) .this was my original plan incase rashi refused to give replacement.

hmm...even i've the same one! Mine is clocked 710/925, 24x7! Yep, UDF7 model. Somehow, got AS5 from Yantra! Applied that, and installed 80mm fan in front of the card, directly blowing air over it! The card idles at ~52 degrees and during max load it goes ~85 degrees. Hey, not bad for a electric stove!

[Stuge]

I'm also using the Graphic card for the past 7 month and my Graphic card never reached that temp .

[nvidia]

@sagargv: Do you have their number?

Oh... Thats cool... Even i have one fan blowing air right at it and one pulling air out right above the gfx card... Even then the card went to 109C when running 3D mark triangle test... But when i play games it wont go above 91C...

PS: that card will be ur best buddy in winter, no chilled nights but warmth around ur PC

[praka123]

I remember my days with prescott 2.8Ghz and intel original mobo(D915GAV).it showed upto 100degrees!noise,restarts,thermal event messages!
OMG!later I changed the mobo for the currently used gigabyte 915GV one,and now temp is idling at 38degrees and max goes upto 60degrees

[nvidia]

^^Wow! But it doesnt beat my cards temperature of 109C...

Guys, will applying some thermal heat paste help?

[praka123]

^dont know yaar!I recommend somebody to submit this thread to DIGG,poor nvidia yaar can auction his card for $$$$,those firangis are crazy about such things

[nvidia]

^^Submitted to Digg...
If anyone is ready to buy this amazing piece of sh!t then ill sell it... But not for a cheap price.. I'm ready to exchange this with a 3870X2... Anyone up for the deal?

[nvidia]

^^I thought it was a good idea to submit it to digg.. So i submitted it...
So anyone up for the deal? Exchanging my multi-purpose 8600GT with a 3870X2 or 8800GTX Ultra?

[keith_j_snyder2]

Congratulation on having a multipurpose card...or should i say stove..whatever!

[dOm1naTOr]

Nowadays everybody are goin for HOT hardwares and u have managed to get one...
Tell gals, 'ive hotter card than u nd performs gr8 too'

[nvidia]

^^Gals normally wont have a graphics card... Even if they do, they wont know what it is..

[channabasanna]

Which is the tool used for Checking the temperature of the graphics Card....

[nvidia]

^^Use RivaTuner.

[amitash]

an overheating 8600gt for a 3870x2?? i wudn even give u my old 7600gt.....good luck replacing it by the way...

[praka123]

@nvidia:write to nvidia India office complaining.,,

[confused]

looks like the guy here had a similar problem.
read on to find what he did.

I just bought a new computer a while ago and it comes with a program thingy that tells you the temp of the cpu and stuff. So I noticed the cpu was running a little hot. I took of the side of the case to leave it open and that helped a bit but not a big bunch. So I heard that water cooling works real good so I tried it.

After spraying some fine mist in the case of just pure clean water, a short while after, the computer just stopped working!

I'm now having to use my old laptop just to type this here. What went wrong? Why is this water cooling thing such a big deal when it doesn't seem to do anything but hurt the computer?!

I'm taking it in to my computer store to get fixed and the guy said he'll explain it to me then but I just wanted to know in advance from ppl who might know so I don't get ripped off with false info. I mean I don't want him to try to charge me more for stuff just cuz I'm no computer expert.

TY ahead of time for the advice.

and post what u think.
(hope this has not been posted before)

omfg...either tat guy has half a brain or hes just a beaten up wreck of a man who wants attention from everyone else....
its worth getting an internet connection just to read tis...
