GPU temp = 39
Environment temp = 42
1: Does that sound right
2: I took one of the pins off my arctic silencer so the ram would fit in the slot, and the Rig has now been on for 4 hours since then, so looks like it didnt have an effect ? :D

ambient higher than core? thats abit wierd....
Mine's sat at 44c GPU 40c Ambient atm. That's with the stock cooler.
Environment temp means the temperature of a sensor on the pcb. Not sure where the sensor is but it is not on the memory chips.
I assume both of your temps are idle temps - stock cooler would hit around 75c under load usually.
Mine is stitting at 37c idle (32c water) and 45c max. load watercooled :)
so under load it woud go up to 75? so that would be ok and nothing to worry about. Il be playing source. What are some good programs for this card, i have ATi tool at the moment

For overclocking, I am using systool and atitool (both made by w1zzard on techpowerup).
how do imake sure the fan goes 100% at 60 dgress m8y? im a noob i do appologise
You don't need to with that cooler, i dunno what he is on about.
Idle temps mean dick really. What load temps?
havent tried yet, i just play source then go to bed :D
With stock X850XTPE cooler, and under stock fan speeds, it will let the gpuget to ~85-90c and crash.
This was tested on 4 cards, so I do know what Im talking about.
Ati tool allows changing speeds. Versions before 0.24 had a bug so update to a version after that if you havent already higher version.
Thats brilliant. Guess you having noticed it's a Arctic Cooler 5.Quote:

As I found out after playing BF2 in this heat with my new card, although mine never crashed, just got a message saying the card had been underclocked to prevent any damage.Quote:

Merlin4458 install ATI Tool 0.24 and run the show 3D option. Let me know what you card temp gets up to in this heat. Just want to know how much better the AC5 is than the stock HS, and whether it's worth killing my warranty and putting one on.
ATI tool is crap, unless you wanna change fan speed.
Rivatuner 15.6 is awesome. It monitors your temps on a graph while your gaming, etc.
ok i got a clan match at 8-30 so il check my temp after the game (hour half), whats the point in the 3d view, what does it show exactly
