Is 96c ok ?

[nope]

This is the temperature of my XFX 8800GTX , should I be worried?

[pands@scan]

to be honest thats not anything to worry about. GPU's can go 120+ without issue

my 7800GTX XXX never goes above 50 96 in my opinion is too hot. Try imprving your case airflow

your not comparing like for like tho are you ?, an 8800gtx by design is going to generate more heat due to the power requirements, I wouldn't give it a 2nd thought if it doesn't go over 100 degrees under full load personally

my 8800gtx idles at around 70-75 in my shuttle

The maximum safe should be listed in the control panel. Under the temp page as core slowdown threshold. On my 7950GT it's 130c. I've seen quite a few cards go that high without problems.

Seeing as your card is over clocked, I think that temps fine under load. you can probably knock a bit off the temp with redoing your cooling though.

I have two 8800gtx and the other one is at stock speed and that on load is 77c and this one is over clocked and the temps are 20c different .

Also the airflow inside is great , its a A380 XCLIO

That's hot.

Personally, I get worried if any component runs much above 60C. But I've recently had to revise my scare level as my 1950XT hits 75 under load.

Sorry to be pedantic, but a big 250mm fan does not necessarily equal better airflow.

About 6 months ago I plunked my old system from an Antec 3000 into an X-Clio 3060 (big fan on side) for my brother as I was upgrading.

I was very disappointed to see CPU & GPU temperatures increase as a result. In that case, I think the big fan = more turbulant airflow & less effective dissipation of heat.

[nope]

the inside temp is 41c and the cpu is 51c , before this gpu was inside it was 33c.

Its definately the card thats increasing the temps inside too.

guys, 96c for a gfx card is not a fault, especially if its overclocked

96°C for an 8800 is no problem whatsoever.

120°C and start getting the sand bucket out

MAN THIS THREAD HAS SOME GREAT ACOUSTICS, GONNA TRY SOME YODELLING AND LISTEN TO MY ECHOES SOME MORE

soz running another app atm which requires caps lock

I suggest you stick to a s3 Virge then

lol... busted really..

[nope]

Well I will take your word for it. Just hope it doesnt fail on me . It worries me because I lost one card like this

I agree. Thats does sound incredibly hot.
Ive never had a GPU get to those kind of temps before.
