Overheating problems

about 1 year 9 month

That's about the time a XFX card lasts, in case of two of my friends both had XFX 8800GT and their card lasted about 1.8 yrs or so, after that massive load temps followed by crash in game, get it rma'd and never buy XFX again, their Quality check on GPU is done by playing tetris and pacman and loading windows 98
My HD5850 crashed in the 3rd day, to hell with XFX.

Do think i will get the card replaced??4th octobar 2010 my warranty will be over.Rashi should agree that it is overheated they will receive or not??Guys do u know about rashi kolkata.Earlier my friend gets xfx gt9400 512 mb ddr2 instead of 8600 gt.

@tkin and topgear-- after opening the cabinet i have noticed that the fan of XFX 8600 gt is not working after touching the fan its start working and magically the temperature also start decreasing and now the idle temperature is 60 degree and on load 72 degree Celsius.So what should i do now?They will not accept if no problem was found ??

The fans broken, it'll continue to degrade over time, try the rma before time runs out.

Thanks suggestion granted

@tkin-the fan was not broken it was earlier not working but now its working nevertheless i will try to rma it.

 

[topgear]

do you still have to touch the fan to make it spin .... ? if yes , consider RMA it asap.

 

[Tenida]

Yes i have given for warranty claim.

Look at this cooler-Cooler Master V6GT Review - Overclockers Club
It very good looking and performs very efficiently.Is this cpu cooler available in india?I am planning to buy it.How much its cost?Plzzz tell me

can somebody suggest a good cpu temperature monitor. real temp doesn't support my processor.

if its an issue, just get some fan controllers with temp diodes.

 

[Jaskanwar Singh]

^^i mean a software to know temperatures..

^^^
yeah i need a software to monitor temps cpu gpu and mobo temps without heading for bios too
is speedfan good?

CoreTEMP and/or Everest Lavalys.

The fan controller diodes are more relevant to control the fan speeds according to differences in temperatures than to get an accurate reading. There is always a difference in actual temperatures and those recorded by the diodes since you can't place them physically in contact with the heat sources. Moreover, this difference gets larger with rise in temperature. So you still need software to read the inbuilt temperature probes from the hardware for an accurate reading.

try Everest or HWMonitor Pro - using it currently and it's very good and showing all temps accurately

coretemp is also good but sometime it's just not able to display all cores temp.

 

[Piyush]

coretemp works fine for me
though i personally like HWMonitor

thanks..normal temp are 41-43

that is true, but the problem I and many others face,is faulty temp diodes on the CPU,many ppl i know get sub ambient temps.

anyways, a good software is Everest ultimate for all the temps, try it out
