Massive load on XT Platinum shows 60 degree temps. Bad?

jpinard · Sep 25, 2004, 07:01 AM

I just got my new card and am trying to make sure there's nothing wrong with it. So, I ran (looped) 3dMark's graphic tests (JUST the graphic tests) 20 times in a row and at the end "Overdrive" said my X800 XTPlatinum was 60 degrees Celcius. Is this OK or too high? Remember the video card did not have a breather for like 30 minutes as I didn't run any of the cpu tests, or image quality tests - just the full animation rendering tests.

Thanks!

60 degrees on load is good.. no need to worry at all!

Really? Cool. Should I overclock a bit? What speeds do you think I could safely hit?
