| ihira said: you need a 8800 to accompany that nice system. Origin - Idle 66??? holy crap those are high temps for the 8800 GTS. I thought ATI was the king of heat lol |
Yeah, even at stock this bad boy runs at about 61degrees idle.
The 8800 is one hot mofo, stock it runs up to about 78degrees at load.
I run Vista which means I can't use the fan control and standard it just runs at 50% all of the time, when I used to have XP I could get the load temps down to about 75 with the OC if I ran it at 100% all the time, but it's F'n loud at those speeds.
The in build 'underclock' temp is 95 degrees it seems and i've never gotten anywhere near that and I do a lot of stress testing :)
Tispower - can't wait to get another 2 sticks of this Ballistix ram that i've got at the moment, it's going to be tough as fuck having 4 gig at this speed :D
Also Tis, you should consider whether you want to put your 6600 up to 3.0ghz, it's VERY easy to do and will not require any voltage changes, heat will not change too much with the stock cooler if that's what you are running and you will notice some nice performance increase.
