Post your Gaming GPU temps:

Idle Pre-Gaming: Low 50c Post-Gaiming Mid 50c

8600 GT Averaged 75c, peaked at 80c. Playing HL2

Acer Aspire 5920

 

Not bad! At all!

 

Idle: 48-52

Peaks at 72 degrees playing fear

XPS M1710 7900gs Overclocked 590/790

 

the one on my sig.
lowest temp: 60 °C
average: 72° C
peak: 83 °C (whoa!)

game: star wars - knights of the old republic II, everything on max, 4x AA, 16x AF

 

Idle: 71c
Peak: 86c

Asus g1s - 8600m gt

Rainbow six vegas

 

how do you find out what the temp are? is there a program that does that?

 

This makes me go thinking. Even though you are idling at a whopping 20c warmer than I, your peak is only 6c above me. Yet we have the same card.


Is seems to me like peak temperature might level off fairly decently on this card. So I for example might be able to OC mine and still only have it peak at 86c like yours.


Hmmmm .. . Very tempting. .. ..

 

Here is the proof that Clevo notebooks are not hot.

Clevo D900K
Nvidia 7800 Go GTX (256MB DDR3 - stock clock: 400/1100)
Idle: 48c
Peak: 85c
Peak: 90c (on a hot southern California day)

All 3D intense games (running at 1920x1200 with High/Max settings):
- Elder Scrolls: Oblivion
- Knights of the Old Republic 2
- Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter
- Command and Conquer 3

The arctic silver helped it out when I applied it after building the notebook. It cut off 5-10c degrees immediately and prevented the GPU from getting past 90c degrees (which it did before I re-did the thermal paste).

[off topic] to Gophn:
glad to see someone else that still play kotor 2

 

Only thing I really don't get is why my idle temperature is so much higher than yours.

 

higher clocks? smaller space?

 

On the 5920 the video card has a ton of ventilation as it has an entire corner to its self. Also maybe it is getting less heat from the CPU, as it is only a Core 2 Duo @ 1.5 But I really don't know.

 

Before cleaning out the computer(Yesterday):
Idle: 93C
Peak: Didnt try

After cleaning out dust from computer, and after adding 1 GB more RAM(Today):
Idle:59C
Peak:75C(HL2)

 

lol


Well, good incentive to keep ones notebook clean.

 

The card has no ventilation at all..
At the corner is the heatsink and fan.

Your idle temp is normal,KiwiBoy's is extremely high.
Strange although,as the load temp is normal..

Here is a link to Notebook Hardware Control it is not the only one, I am sure all these people who ignored will start to give input. http://www.pbus-167.com/nhc/nhc.htm#anchor_download good luck, many more some maybe better.

 

Acer Aspire 5920G

8600m GT @ 620/500 MHz

Idle:58-59C
Full Load 85-93C Depending on the game

Room Temp:30C

 

The laptop in my sig (a 14,1" model):

idle: ~60 C
full load (stalker): 95 C
peak: 99 C

Room temperature: 23 C

 

60 C Idle, 80 C load. Comp in sig.

 

xps 1710 with a 7900gs, what a waste

why didn't you get the e1705 if you weren't going to the get the 7950gtx?

hot enough to cook eggs

 

Well, as far as I know, an XPS 1710 has dual heatpipes, a plus i guess. Just look how better his cooling is and look at his peak temp /w overclock.

For me,
Idle: 55 C
Peak:75 C
Overclock Peak: 83 C
Hot California Day Peak: 85 C
Overclock Hot California Day Peak: Dont even think so!
(Yep, just had a 105 F the other day. These triple digits dont seem to be giving up)

Laptop in sig.

 

It was a free upgrade from my failing XPS M170, so I couldn't really complain . My previous M170 reached some pretty crazy temps, many times reaching its threashold. Idle was usualy around 70 C while gaming temps hovered around 109-115C (it would have exploded if I even tried overclocking). 7900gs was a huge upgrade IMO .

 

Idle:70C
Gaming norm: 85C
Max Temp: 90C

 

nVidia GeForce 6600
Stock Clocks
Driver--- Forceware 158.something
Idle---- 40C~55C
Intense gaming Max--- 66C
Intense Gaming Avg--- 60~64C

 

Hey dude, just been messing around with my xps m1710,
was gettin really hight temps on my 7950gtx but then realised its was coz the fan was not coming on, i found a tool that works great for manually makin fan settings profiles, and detects both fans,
was getting 65-70 c on idle now ajusting the fan setting im getting a super cool 45 idle,
programs called I8kfanGUI

 

7950gtx stock clock

idle 30-40
peak 55-60
room temp 14C

 

[Offtopic:] I dont believe it you can play oblivion at high settings with the 1920*1200 resolution. In that case you will get very low fps! (even if you tweak it) [/Offtopic]

 

50-55 C idle. 65-70 playing games. Sometimes reaches 75 for some reason -- and that's already overclocked BTW. My GPU is overclocked from 375/600 to 415/700.

Room temperature: around 30 C to 35 C, depending on the time of the day

Forceware Drivers: 92.91

BTW, you guys know a better driver for the Geforce Go 6600? Those guys at LaptopVideo2Go are dead. Haven't had a reply since I last posted 6 weeks ago.

 

8700M GT 625/1600


Idle= 53c
Max=69c

 

8700 GT OC'd to 780/1876 (stock Toshiba drivers)

1280x800 = 5758 3Dmark06 (1440x900 display cannot do 1280x1024)

Lost planet DX10
1024x768 medium/low settings 39 snow, 34 cave (never below 31fps)
1280x800 medium/low settings 31 snow, 27 cave


Never above 68C after 3 hours of benchmarking...


Notes:
-Juarez tanks to 10.7 fps average with stock drivers(from 26ish with 163.16)
-163.16 drivers are very nice for DX10 stuff, but won't overclock
-800/2000 works in everything but 3dmark06, but I think I'd rather back down to 780/1876 than risk running where anything crashes.

 

Okay, you asked for it.

(Warning, large pics... 1920 x 1200)

Check out the FPS (in-game)... Outdoor gets the low of 28-29 (usually above 30 fps)
GPU Temps do not exceed 85C degrees.

Settings are:


- 1920x1200 (native)
- using game's built-in FPS OSD (since RivaTuner's OSD did not show up in the shots)
- High/Max, HDR, and no AA (no need for it)




In-Game Screenshots




This shows why the 7800GTX is still considered one of the highest end cards for notebooks.
(.. but I still want more power )

 

I can see your Toshiba X205's 8700M GT OC capped at 68-69c as well during heavy gaming. Definitely a good news. 800/2000 works for me too, but like you said dont really want to risk it.

 

just have a question, is HDR on in those pictures? because the water looks so dull and faded (not to mention the sky)..or is it night time or something??

 

yea its on, theres overcast in the sky.

I'll take more shots if you want.

 

wow...HDR on and still very playable frame rates!!!!
on mine if i turn HDR on (everything else same) the fps go down 20~30%

 

I have a feeling the x205's cooling system is designed for a LOT more heat-intensive GPU.

FYI, my x205 surprised me the other day... I actually HEARD its fans for the first time and I spent a good couple minutes trying to figure out where the noise was coming from... my normally nearly-silent x205 had kicked its nearly silent coolling system up a notch into barely-audible ranges. Apparently, the x205s have a separate (and still quite quiet) speed for the cooling fans for when the chip needs it!

 

stock 7950gtx...

load 45-60C

room temp 20C.

 

The asus g1s has gddr3 while the acer has gddr2. This could have an impact on the peak temp.

 

the toshiba x205 seems like a really nice system....

 

After 3 hours of heavy gaming, still capped 69c and its quiet.......

 

wow...thats the same temperature as my go6600, and the card is a light years ahead in performance

 

Many 8600M GT users's gpu temps are easily over 70c during gaming, I thought my 8700M GT (with even high clock) would get even hotter.......but I was wrong....

 

I peaked at 95 degrees Celsius once when I was running Supreme Commander on Dual Screens.

Normally it will peak about 86 degrees Celsius and then the fans kick up, bringing it back down to 80 Celsius.

I'm impressed by you 8700m GT users, sounds like your temps are VERY low...although you generally must use a 17" to contain that card, so I guess I can't feel jealous.

 

My roommate has a Dell Inspiron 1520 (15.4"). Watching DVDs, playing games feels much more "enjoyable" on my X205's bigger screen.

 

I imagine that with some better thermal compound like ArticSilver5, the temps will be even more low than that...

 

Gophn I see you don't use any user mods. I have visual mods such as Qarl 2 and Natural Environments. That particular area you took screenshot of I usually hover around 30+ at 1920x1200 with my overclocked 7800GTX, yeah it's still a killer card, running Prey maxed at 60fps, running Need for Speed Most Wanted maxed at 1920x1200 at 30fps

But if you move into a heavily wooded area I think your fps will drop at least 5 fps.

 

Hmm.. this is making me feel uncomfortable, lol. I hit 96C playing F.E.A.R in medium settings on G1s and my idle is 72C. I'm in well ventilated room with laptop on the my table. Maybe I should get a laptop cooler.

 

Temps will vary with room temperature, etc., but I idle about 55C and peak about 68C.

 

Many Asus G1s idle at 70c+, dont worry about it. Do get a cooler if you are doing heavy gaming with 96c.........

PLay FEAR on MAX ( Soft shadow off) ---65c after 2 hours.

 

Wow, didn't realize shadows were the main reason for all the slowdown. Took your advice and am now enjoying fear with everything max except shadows.

Also, seems like 96C is top for my GPU as that is the max it goes to no matter how intensive application I'm running.
