Geforce 7800 GS running temps

Banditman · February 10th, 2007

The 7800 GS idle temp is 46 deg. While running BF2 it reached 61 deg. Can someone compare these temps and tell me if they are normal? It shows that the slowdown temp to be 115 deg with no way of changing it. Even at 61 deg it showed to be in the caution range.

my 7600gt idles at 48c and loads at 58c running RTHDRIBL for 5 minutes. room temp is 20c

if i remember correctly my 7800gt had about the same temps you do so i wouldnt worry about it unless you start to experience artifacting

Yea, those temps are just fine. GPU's are generally more resistant to heat than Processors.

The 7800GS in my AMD rig runs a tad warmer than yours at load. Like 63C. At idle it's around 41. The temps in my house could account for the differences though.

43 degree Celsius = 109.4 degree Fahrenheit
63 degree Celsius = 145.4 degree Fahrenheit
115 degree Celsius = 239 degree Fahrenheit

As you can see, you are a long ways away from having anything to be worried about.

I used to get idle temps in the low to mid 50s on my 6800GT, and loads that went into the 70s with the stock cooler. My 7800GT (with the VF700cuLED and another 120mm fan pointed at it) will idle from 39 to 42C, and load as high as 67C, but a lot of times it will do 65 - depends on room temps. It's showing about 41C right now in Everest, with the room at 78F. I'm in agreement with those who said your temps are fine.
