Graphics Card Temps BFG GTX 260 OC 70 Degs!

[alex2zulu]

hey guys,

just been playing fallout 3 mothership zeta on max for about 3 hours, and it crashed, not the first time, but its very intermitent. i dont know the standard underload temps for this card, ive had it a while and im just about to clean it. but i mean 70 degs...its a lot.

whats your opinions?

Thanks

70 degrees at load is absolutely fine. I oc'ed mine and it runs flawless at 86 under load.

Does this only happen in fallout 3 zeta?

If so is the game fully patched? is it a legitiamte version? Are drivers fully up to date?

Localised memory or core overheating I reckon. Download and instal EVGA precision tool, unlink vore and shaders overclocking, set fan control to manual, set fan speed to about 65%-70% max, and you should be good to go. That crashing happens all the time with my 260 if I forget to increase fan speed to that value in EVGA precision tool. Give it a whirl and see how you get on.

hey,

thanks a lot for the EVGA advice, seems like a really good idea. while i was cleaning the case etc out i busted my cpu cooler, now i have to get another, fail. any ideas on that, something under £20

Akasa AK-965 cooler LGA775, £12.98 exclluding delivery. (assuming you've got one of those sockets. Used a few of these in the past, very good cooler, quiet and cheap
