Who can top my temperature without killing something?

Wow, lmao

go die, k?

ITS MURDER YOURE COMMITING

[legionaire45]

You might want to put some new thermal paste on that :D.

That temp is scary. What card is that?

[paladin]

Oh dear God!

[Rob Oplawar]

what's with those spikes? and is the 124 reading the top of the spike, the average, or the trough?

[Bodzilla]

nope, nope and nope.
he's just australian.

This is what i tried to tell u guys when u where up me about my computer being dirty and the dirt was being Blamed for the computer over heating.
btw we live in the same town so... yeah.

Yeah, you can use that after you clean the dust bunnies out of your computer with your own hands. You can't just shove a vaccum in there or you have about an 85% chance of all your components going boom from all the static electricity build up.

[Syuusuke]

Is your background program implying something? =P
Jk

I was going to photoshop it making it 130°C, but the result looked obviously stupid.

[Gamerkd16]

That looks like a sudden jump in temperature too.

My laptop used to get that hot until I RMA'd the graphics card.

[Varmint260]

Mine, even when running under-clocked, runs at 76 C. I don't think that's healthy for it; what's even weirder, though, is according to the same program you're using, when I overclock it as high as it will go without crashing, the temperature doesn't even change. Something to do with it being integrated? I don't know. It's sitting here, with Internet Explorer and Windows Media Player running, and it's at 75 C. That can't be good...

Something doesn't seem right about this post...

Also -- videocards for the most part can take spikes up to 110C+ -- I'm just wondering why the drivers didn't turn off your computer.

Since I installed vista on my laptop, my idle temps are at ~70C. (Aero disabled). In xp it hovered around ~60C. For some reason, my drivers in vista are locked to shut down the system if it exceeds 120C. In xp, the shutdown was at 100C.

Good Lord.

Dano stop torturing your computer, no matter how much it likes it.

How do you determine the temperature of your computer? Is there a built in application somewhere?

[Phopojijo]

How do you determine the temperature of your computer? Is there a built in application somewhere?You download a program from nVidia... can't remember its name though.

NTune...it includes the monitoring program.

[Zeph]

Gotta be a broken monitor. Aren't GPUs supposed to force a shutdown at 112 degrees Celsius?

[Phopojijo]

... yes, its a driver setting, yes, I do see the flaw in that.

Thanks. 54 degrees Celsius. Hell yea, not bad at all.

What's a safe range?

You are obviously in it. :rolleyes:

[Gamerkd16]

Oh ok, cool. So just around 54 C. Though I probably won't have to worry about temperatures until Summer.

This could have been helpful for when my old motherboard overheated though.

[Patrickssj6]

Well you really notice when your computer get's hot...especially the CPU...everything tends to get slower and slower...

Funny thing is that every time I start up this computer in Winter...the HDD has to do a warm-up run first...sounds like a chainsaw inside my case...so no overheating issues for me xD

Well with my old one, the computer just randomly shut off. And then when you try to start it back up and it won't turn on, that's when you know...:(

Oddly enough, it was in a basement. Probably was just old.

it can depend, but its still not healthy even above 60-70. 30-50 is a comfortable zone if you have decent cooling and dont want to have to replace your hardware every year (thats not all that uncommon though :rolleyes:).

But if that's not a spike, then I would shut down your pc right now, or heavily underclock that gpu. Its going to die on you very soon if you dont.
