_Ray Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 (edited) And yes I realize I didn't really burn it up.... The specs say 105C (It won't get over 90C with the auto fan on though), but I felt pretty foolish after I got it to 100C, I don't want to risk a 2k machine on stupid things like this. This video only gets it to 93. Plus at 100C it just about burned my hand when I put it behind the fan.....

Pandora Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 The card is fine going to 105C. It will just underclock itself after that. No big deal.. I've gone to 102 myself. The air doesn't get all that hot and it's nothing interesting.. Risking a 2k machine? No, only a 300 USD card... Just do it, nothing will happen.

WRX22B1998 Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 oh yeah i would imagine, core slowdown threshold or whatever, if it gets too hot it'll turn the fans up max, then start slowing itself down. just seems so pointless to do ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Ray Posted August 22, 2009 Author Share Posted August 22, 2009 Yeah I'm kinda starting to agree with you two now. What's the point, right? 93C isn't even that hot. And being as I'm only 13, I DON'T HAVE ANOTHER $220. My parents bought it and they won't be buying another one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
