Bond, Desi Bond!
anything under 45 should be just fine given that you have a GTX260.

Those temperatures of under 50 are pretty good actually. Don't worry about that. If you want to reduce them further, get Cooler Master 120mm fan and put on the side panel and also try to put the second 80mm fan on side panel to send air into the cabinet as there are already two fans (rear and top) that are pushing air out).

upload images to imageshack.us and put the forum links in the post. those images that you uploaded to forum are not accessible.

let me post temperatures in my PC that has 120mm CM fan and uses lot less heat generating HD4770. You will then get an idea on how good your cabinet's cooling is right now :)

Update:

I was trying to overclock my card using ATI Overdrive's auto tune.

Default core clock: 750MHz
Default Memory clock: 800MHz

current values;

core clock: 820MHz
memory clock: 815MHz

temperatures: 75C to 78C (card stressed at 87% load continuously for past couple of minutes).

PS: WHen I tried to do the same to my earlier card (2600XT), it used to become totally unstable after little bit of overclocking but this one looks to be rock solid

Yes dude thats normal , the Higher end cards will always generate this much heat if u want to lower means - Try This

open the side panel which the LED fans are there disconnect the led fans , keep the table fan in the side of the cabinet .

u ll get 43 Idle & 65 Load

But u'll get lots of dust

The Reference cooler GTX 260 temperatures are Idle 60-65
Load 85 - 95 , thats old GTX 65nm

Dont worry ! these are normal

Any idea which company's UPS is best? My friend wants to buy one for normal computer operations i.e. without any graphics card etc. Please advise the specification and price.

alright then guys i will stop worrying bout tthe temps think they r cool enough..... n have no plans to keep a tableFan to cool my rig m not that extreme......my last cabbie zebronics lava used to have 2 high rpm fan on the side n i know every month i was used to open my cabbie n clean a hell of the dust of my 8600 n the mobo the reaper is having slow rpm fans so let us see how much of a problem that will be......

BTW dangoodman is ur prone to dust inside..... let me know.....

desibond those r really hot temps i used to overcocl my 8600GT n never ever reached above 65C n i mean extreme overclocking

Core clock default 540---- i use to keep it at 700Mhz
memory clock default 800------i used to keep it at 966Mhz

n guess what my MSI card had passive cooling n no memory heatsink....... i should mention though that the cabbies 1 of the side fan was placed near the card n the air would directly hit 2 of the heat pipes of the card....ie i guess i could push it so high.... but i just luved that card i could run all my games including crysis at medium settings at 1024 res n get around 35-40FPS without any stuttering...... but lately the games were getting hold of the card so decided to dump them in favor of the new rig..... here r my overclock settings if u r interested...... though i couldnt do a hardware overclock to my proccy because i had a intel original mobo DG965RY so had to resort to setfSB n the 8600gt was overclock using the msi dual core program......sort of like ntune.....

E4300 default spd 1.8Ghz------to 2.26Ghz (stock cooling anything above that the comp freezed)

MSI geforce8600Gt 540/800------to 702/966Mhz


n the cabbie temp would rise like only 2-3C than normal temps but thats expected

65 degree to 75 degree at ful load is usual and I don't think that's heavy.

you are reallylucky to have that 8600GT runnning cool. people used to prepare omlette and prepare hot water for bath on that card :)

Hmmm i had read that 8800 were hot running cards but 8600gt not much...... anywayz i have stopped worrying bout the temps...... n regarding the BSOD which i was getting it has been resolved...... replaced the female side of my RJ45 cable (it had a bent pin inside) n the comp is running fine no crashes et all...... ao at last everything is fine n installed n running as it should.......

now only one issue is left its not a serious one though n this querstion is for damngoodman999...... since u also have the reaper cabbie u must have got a small speaker which gives out the BIOS beeps.... the prob is that when i attach that to my mobo n when the comp starts the POST the beep is continous (according to my mobo if everything is normal it should give one beep n carry on with the POST) but in my case the comp starts normally but the beep is continous tried both the sides of the speaker pins either way on the mobo but the same result when this mobo was in my old cabbie it would give one beep normally.... so its a speaker problem do u also have the same?????? just curious.... this is the only thing to be resolved now rest all is working smooth........

yes desibond i have connected all the front headers properly as i have said above that in my old cabbie the beep was coming properly but now with the cabbie change its continous so i guess the prob is with the speaker provided with the cabbie...... ur opinion is welcome if i m missin somthing.......

it happens. as the pricing is based on dollar value and inventory, we can't always expect prices to go down all the time.
